Oil- there's an awful l lot more left than was previously anticipated, would be a shame not to use it :thumbs:

One thing is for sure, with today's announcement and the one from France the creative juices will be flowing to find a new fuel system(other than electric)
I think something will be found along the hydrogen/seawater route.
Can you imagine the load placed on our infrastructures to charge batteries on cars.....Electric is more cleaner but does it harm the environment at the back-end?
"But those smokestacks, many attached to coal-fired power plants, are the single-largest source of greenhouse gas pollution in the U.S., at two billion metric tons of CO2 per year. That source would grow as electric cars demand more and more electricity, unless tighter pollution controls are placed on power plants or electric utilities shift to less polluting sources such as solar. As it stands, a conventional Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle, which burns gasoline when its batteries are not engaged, and the all-electric Nissan Leaf produce roughly the same amount of greenhouse gas pollution: 200 grams per mile"

It still will have its uses, like aviation fuel and plastics. I can't see big ships running on batteries any time soon.
It won't end when we run out of oil. Pretty sure that the stone age didn't end because they ran out of stone, technology just moved on.
