Um, as a nonrenewable resource, I think we can disagree.
We will run out, and sooner than most people think.
The problem we should be trying to solve is how can we still manufacture things, without fossil fuels?
All the green technology today still depends on fossil fuels in their manufacturing. If we can’t figure out alternatives, and fast, it won’t matter what kind of vehicle you use. Even bikes will be obsolete if you can’t make tires or lubricant.
85% of crude oil is turned into refined fuels, to be burnt, for energy. If we simply go rid of that we would be drastically increasing the supply for non fuel needs. This will both be much better for the environment, and give us a much bigger buffer to create effective alternatives to things like oil based plastics, lubricants, and material processing components.
