Wild Card's description: 

By 2030 algae finally fully replaces oil, not only in transportation, but in all production where black oil used to be used such as plastic, rubber, and electricity production. Oil remains in the energy markets, but due to new taxes and increasing pumping costs it is more expensive than biofuel and therefore much less used.
