Our analysis suggests that oil as the main fuel for transportation could have a much shorter life span left than commonly assumed. In the fast adoption scenario, oil prices could converge to the level of coal prices, about USD 15 per barrel in 2015 prices by the early 2040s. In this possible future, oil could become the new coal
