Ha, the reason we've been burning fossil fuel so long is because the Aliens we captured in the early 1920s could stop all electrical activity with thier ships weaponry. Film and movies have been trying to tell us about this problem, with the last big one being War of the Worlds with Tom Curise, where the aliens simply killed electrical transmission (aside from the car Tom managed to fix by changing a spark plug roter.)

But now after many years we seem to have forgotton and we are all switching over to pure electrical gadets. Why it's only a matter of time that those little gray bastards are going to show back up and take over the planet, start feeding us happy pills to get us fat for dinner.

There is still pleanty of sci-fi room for Electrical Boogaloo 2122.
