I feel like this title is the definition of "anti-clickbait" to me (i.e. I don't even want to read the article because of the title), because it makes no sense.

Oil is primarily an energy source. When we talk about "carbon" in the context of climate change we're usually talking about carbon dioxide, which is a byproduct of energy generation that itself contains no consumable energy. Saying "carbon will be the new oil" is like saying my poop will be my new food source - it just doesn't make sense.
