Question

Can you imagine a world in which human societies are not dependant on oil, either for their energy or economy?

Answer 1

yes it will be awesome that the past.

Answer 2

yes, the problem is that we still need oil for so many things. you may not drive a car or heat your home but  you will still be using oil for most plastics detergents medicines and pretty much everything else that is artificial.

Answer 3

Far from just imagining it I've actually SEEN it!

Confused?

I've seen it in the "Star Wars" world! lol

Ok, on a serious note, once nuclear energy and\or solar energy is well developed, we can see the end of our dependency on fossil fuel. There is also a new concept of producing energy from O2 and hydrogen the by product being just WATER! God permit that day comes real soon cuz mother nature is really suffering at the hands of us humans!
