The planet needs to move as whole away from dependance on fossil fuels.
There are a ton of different ways to get power that is totally renewable,
solar, wind, geothermal, they can even put turbines in the ocean and produce
power from the naturally occurring currents.
Not one single source of alternative power is going to totally do away with
our oil needs, but if we take a holistic approach, the need for petroleum
would be drastically reduced.
Big oil is the problem though, if they were smart, THEY would be the ones
developing the new types of power, instead they are wasting their money and
efforts trying to squash all attempts at getting away from our oil
dependance.
