A Look at Some Oil Alternatives

Oil actually controls the whole world at the current moment. It powers machines, cars and so many other pieces of mechanical instruments. As we know the world is already looking for an alternative to oil as we already know it is running low, but what would that alternative be? Imagine that overnight all of the oil dried up completley, which other energy source would you use as a replacement? Lets take a brief look

 

Coal

Before oil dominated the world, it was coal that powered almost everything. But because of the sheer amount on Co2 that coal emits it would be impossible for coal to come back, especially now as the planet is trying to get greener and greener.

 

Renewable Energy

This is an aspect that the whole world are moving towards, renewable energy is not only natural but it will never run out. Things such as solar power can in reality now store energy from the sun or the moon and give off almost a days worth of power.

 

Nuclear Power

Although nuclear energy is a lot more efficient than oil there is still one vast problem. Nuclear power is pretty grievous to say the least. Because of the sheer amount of accidents that have happened at a lot of the nuclear branches people just will not accept this as a form of energy. I mean who can blank out the incidents of Windscale (United kingdom, 1957), Three Mile Island (United states, 1979) and Chernobyl (USSR, 1986).

 

All in all I believe that we are well on track to find a new energy form that is going to substitute oil. We all come to know that oil is not going to last forever and by developing natural methods, it will help us all out in the long run.
