History has shown that competition in the market promotes its own R&D. R&D still has to make a product, which won't happen until something turns a wheel, lessons are learnt etc.

I am not entirely sure fair comes into this. Our usage of oil isn't fair, nor are the lengths we go to to ensure a supply.
