The world is heavily dependent on oil for energy. Do you think a future resource will take oil's place? Why do you think this?

is likely to get thinner and disappear.
Thus
, I think there is a pressing need to focus on inventing new resources for sustainable development.
Firstly
, there are many means available to replace fossil fuels but they are not yet popularised and commercialised.
For instance
, Solar energy can be used almost anywhere where the Sun shines.
Similarly
, Wind and tidal energy can be used in places with strong winds and tides.
Moreover
, these resources are renewable and can be used for an indefinite period of time. With the consensus of the Governments and corporate institutions,
oil
can soon be replaced by another power.
Secondly
,
such
a shift is no longer optional but a necessity. As a consequence of rising pollution levels, there is a rise in environmental hazards like global warming.
Furthermore
,
oil
is not a permanent fossil fuel. Despite being largely used, it is
also
prone to depletion.
For example
, countries like UAE have understood
this
fact and moved the primary means of their income from
oil
to other businesses. Curiously enough,

electric car companies like Tesla have seen a surge in demand in recent years. With
this
rising trend, it appears that people are more aware of
this
issue than before. In conclusion, the world indeed relies heavily on
oil
. But
this
trend is likely to change and a new resource will take its place soon. These resources are already available yet they are not being used on a large scale.
