All the more reason to not need oil anymore.

Unfortunately oil is not just an energy source, and it is required for a lot of industrial chemistry that we don't yet have alternatives for.

But what's the main use of oil? Energy, right?

About 2/3 of it. About 1/3 of the oil we use in the US is for industrial uses.

yep, but w burn 90% of it and we don't have to.
