"However 2006 has the potential to be the last year that sufficient new projects come on line to match anticipated demand.  Thus any momentum that has built, and it is not yet great beyond the United Kingdom, to find a more sustainable answer to international fuel needs will likely not be sustained much this next year."

I don't see this happening. If oil prices stay high, as the markets are forecasting at $50+, we will see continued pressure on Western as well as Third World nations to economize and work to develop alternative sources. It seems quite unlikely to me that oil prices will drop much lower than this, both because of pent up demand increases and through OPEC price supports. This price level should be enough to maintain considerable investment in reducing oil dependency.
