WI OPEC broke up?

Competition between oil produces causes more oil to flow, and they deplete their reserves that much faster?
 
Meaning that green energy gets more research put into it.

I certainly hope so, because the alternative isn't pleasent. Best case scenario for no fuel cells (or whichever you please)? I don't know, transportation and some parts of society fall back to where they were in the Old West (as far as transportation goes, you know, horses and rail). But since fuel cells exist (I think the new U-boats use them), then the rail can be powered by those. I'd be a culture shock of a sorts to us Americans, being a bit of a car culture and all.
 
Would there be a set oil price, or would producers just set a cost plus price according to local conditions?

I don't think fuels cells powering trains is the answer to transportation post oil. Since rail transport runs along predictable lines it can just be powered from the grid and run through overhead lines. However we will have to generate more power to make up for what cars do now.
