Oil is incredibly useful and it takes a LOT of energy to make it artificially. I believe that 100 years from now people (if any) will wonder how we could have been so stupid to have burned it long after nuclear plants existed.

I agree. Nuclear Power is the cheapest source of energy. It has been put in chains by the envirmental crazies. We burn oil at a profligate rate due to the politics against nuclear power. I value oil greatly as a feed stock for the petrochemical industry. It should be used as an energy source in applications where energy density is of great importance as in aviation. In the case of automotive energy source it today is essential. However once our ability to store energy in batteries becomes economically viable verses gasoline or diesel. Economics will then define electrical vehicles as the choice to use. I doubt if electrics will ever replace long haul heavy transport over the road. It may but I doubt this.

I do think there is a future for hydrogen as a fuel for transport. It is actually the most efficient but to make it practical it source would have to be electrolysis by power derived from nuclear powered generators.

We do not have a lack of energy resources, We have a lack of vision because of environmental GAIA Luddite Nazis.
