I think that most people in the world, not just americans, do not quite realize the situation we have created by relying on oil in any "developing" or "developed" nation.
Most people think that technology can fix it. Nothing to worry about except maybe a blip here or there.
IMO, without oil the entire structure of our civilization eventually collapses. There is no technology that can change that. The world will be a different place without easy access to cheap oil for everyone. The best technology can do is make the transition easier.
