Some day gas and crude oil will be a thing of the past

The problem is that replacing oil and gas is not as easy as we think, if not impossible. We can only reduce our dependence on them somewhat, but we cannot replace and eliminate them completely.

Like coal, they are not being eliminated completely, we are just reducing their use. They are still used in many countries and in industries such as steel and cement because they help reduce costs significantly.

I like when you said "replacing oil and gas is not as easy as some people think" oil and gas is still very important infact it's plays an important role in human existence since it's a mineral resource however instead of replacing it totally there would be alternatives for instance there's fiat and there's Bitcoin, Bitcoin won't completely replace fiat but would serve as an alternative, that's how it would be concerning oil and gas and other energy resources in the future. That's why not everyone is buying the idea of electric cars currently cause they still believe that petroleum powered vehicles are still very useful, maybe in the future their use case would be minimal but they won't be completely eliminated.

Is possible that someday crude oil and gas can be replaced. With the growing technology such thing is possible like the invention of Sola energy has helped to reduce the use of crude oil and gas.

I agree with you that is possible for gas and crude oil to be replace, because many people no longer show interest on gas and crude oil investment because the investment is no longer moving to favour investors like when few people where doing the investment some years back. If care is not taking, agriculture or decentralized investment will be replace crude oil and gas in the future, because people are making money from agriculture and decentralized investment these days without so much struggle before they can earn what will make them wealthy.

You're right in the aspect of technology investment, many people have turned to billionaires through technology investment they invested some years ago to become who they are in the society, which it may also replace crude oil and gas investment soon.

People who are talking mostly about electric vehicles in this topic are clueless NPCs whose knowledge is limited to reading daily news on social media. Oil is not going anywhere soon. While usage in vehicles is a major thing in terms of quantity, it is the easiest one to solve that is to replace it with something else. Our whole economy is built on products that are made by oil derivatives, or intermediary products created by those derivatives. Even if all transportation systems stopped using oil tomorrow, oil is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Quite a dark view on the future.

Quite a dark view on the future.  

Realistic it is I think.
The developed world, the world in development are governed by narrow minded people.
The self inflicted financial thresholds force them to take decisions they ignore the consequences.
Most of what happens nowadays it was foretold.

Is not as if I don't believe in advancement, it is good but we have heard about this replacement of a thing for a long time for a long time, I think what this means is that, it is actually not accomplishable although improvements will keep coming but running of engine without gas may not totally go into extinction, the only I see that will happen is scientists advancing to make a cleaner energy out of oil and gas, they have tried to shift grounds for other cleaner source but it's performance is what they are looking at, there is no way we will compare other source of energy to gas and oil.

The example your gave is correct, people have said many things about Bitcoin replacing fiat but it is funny because both has their functions and work together too, so I believe that's where you're making your argument from.

Could you please clarify the horse-drawn cart and donkey analogy? I'm a bit confused by what you mean. Especially considering that the use of oil and gas in the future will be significantly reduced when their competitors are rechargeable batteries, or when electricity itself will be used more for long-distance driving. So, will poor people who can't afford electric vehicles return to using horses and donkeys for transportation? It will truly seem like there hasn't been any technological progress.

For now fuel powered cars are considered more efficient compared to electric cars. But with time as more electric cars are produced which addresses the problems of electric cars previously manufactured, they will also be considered efficient. In start every new technology and invention has shortcoming that is fixed with time. Just compare computers we have in early 2000s to present straight of the art computers. Oil and gas still has it's importance specially in developing countries, which rely on it as fuel to run industries, vehicles and power houses.

Good article, and nice prediction. Fuck fake trans and woke people, they should be swiftly executed with the guillotine. We have enough problems, we don't need living and walking cancers too.

Fair enough, it is not that I am actually disagreeing with you. It is just that your post stands out as genuine and different from the average response of 3rd world idiots in this thread. Chasing growth and infinite profits is what is going to kill us. Either we stop it before it is too late, or it will go very bad at some point.

It is not an analogy, he means it literally. We are speed running into a catastrophe. We have been dancing with the devil on the border of many catastrophes for a very long time.

Think about it, it's no coincidence that superpowers like the US are trying to stockpile as much oil as possible, and they are one of the countries with the largest oil reserves in the world. Or all the wars in the world today are about fighting over mineral resources and oil is one of them. So to say that they will be replaced or eliminated anytime soon is just wild speculation.

Bitcoin will not replace gold or fiat currencies, and similarly, alternative energy sources will not be able to completely replace oil and gas.

I once read a study from Stanford University that estimates oil reserves will run out in 2052, meaning about 27 years from now. But I don't think it will be completely depleted, it will just be very difficult to find, leading to scarcity. And what will replace oil when it runs out is renewable energy. Many companies are developing renewable energy to replace oil. Examples of renewable energy include solar energy, hydroenergy, bioenergy, etc. By relying on renewable energy, it is hoped that it can be used long-term and is more environmentally friendly. I think hydroenergy is the most likely replacement for oil because the earth is mostly filled with water. Seeing that many companies are now developing hydroenergy, especially for vehicles, I believe hydroenergy will be a more effective substitute for oil.

both of you are right we couldnt say that oil and gas will be exhausted within tomorrow,, still we have enough source to refine those. but whatever, EV are further good cause if we use EV up to 77 to 90 % of battery energy goes to the wheels where gasoline ICE could only 16 to 25 %. you knoe, battery prices are also falling rapidly and BNEF says that by the middle of the decade they may have reached parity, so acceptance will be faster. i think in developing countries weak electricity lack of expansion of charging points and high initial costs are still major obstacles. yeah till now it seems transition is hapenning & not stop like people thinking however its very slowly,, so this two power house is going to coexist some more year i think.."

Gas and crude oil that we use today, which are used for many things wey need today in the society today, it's true one day we will have other raw materials or things to replace them but no one can really say expect there are scientists who are working on that as of now, take a look at the those days when abacus was used in calculating, no one expected or could predict the use of calculator to take over, even the phones today we use letter to pass message but look at today communication is more easier, just because of technology, so it me I don't think I say this is a replacement for gas and crude oil Tomorrow, as time goes the world technology develope everyday.

Is it that they know something we don't? Perhaps, we've been lied to as there's plenty of oil for decades (if not centuries) to come. Right now, the US is about to enter in a conflict with Venezuela. It could be a result of increased interest in Venezuela's oil reserves.

Alternative energy does hold promise, but it's still in its early phase. I have faith it will replace oil in the future. Same as how Bitcoin will replace Gold by then. Everything will depend on how far governments are willing to let the Gold and oil industry go. If there's lots of money to be made, don't expect such industries to go away anytime soon. Big petroleum companies might keep their empire running, even with alternative energy in play. We've already seen how EVs failed to replace gas-powered cars. But who knows? Maybe things will change in the long run. We'll see.
