Isn't high price of the petrol useful?

I think, that the people, should be enough developed in the 21st century, not to have any wars about petrol. This is a serious question, which is very popular last days, and was asked by the media Marketwatch, and they fill, that nevermind what we want, the end of the perol age is very close.
Not only Americans, but also all other people around the world should accept as a possitive factor too high prices of the crude oil and produced from it fuels. We lived in a world of cheap energy too long, which interrupted us to develope and produce more effective ways to satisfying the energy needs. This is th main reson now to feel so large difficulties, when the end looks so unavoidable.
The record prices of the automobile fuels in USA and Europe, as the predictions of the pertrol price of 200 US Dollars per barel, will be the basic catalizer of politics and social changes in the western societies. The industry developed contries will not avoid the economy delay, but it will be followed by hard growing. For example, we can give the USA economy, which felt three times increase in the prices of the fuel for 6 years, without falling in recession. Already started beasty uses of petrol from China and India will lead to double of the current price in the next 2 years, which finally will give the necessary kick for finding a new direction of the world economy outside the sphere of petrol and fosil fuels.
It should be good if we count the changes, which could be done at the moment, in which the world stop to use digged fuels and direct its development to alternative energy sources.
We should stop the diesel engine. Today's cars may have all electrical widgets, but diesel engines are working in the same way, they had worked at the beginning of the previous century. We all are in captivity of old technology, due to the country lobby of the large petrol companies in USA and EU. Isn't it strange, how the people was able to decrease the dimensions of the large computer terminals to small pocket ones, but developing of the diesel engine was too hard for them, and still there is no alternative energy source.
