  The global peak in oil production is predicted by the world experts to occur between now and 2035.  Once the peak in global oil production is reached, global production will continually decline from that point on, while demand will is likely to continue to increase, creating a significant rise in price.  As gas is a direct substitute for fossil oil products, its price will also rise.
  
  We need to start preparing for an oil limited future.  Switching public and freight transport away from oil and gas is an important step and electrified light and heavy rail is a key solution, as its power is derived from non oil and gas sources.
