Alternative Energy Alternative Energy?

Question by Carolina P: Alternative Energy?
I’ve read reports that by 2030, 115 million barrels of oil need to be produced to the meet the increase needs of China and India.
This particular author advocated highly for alternative energies.
However, I read another source, where the argument was that alternative energies were just as harmful to the environment.
It is clear that the stifling need of fuels from over-populated India and China pose a large challenge, but is alternative energy the answer? Is there really enough oil to last us at least a century as some sources suggest? It’s difficult to get the truth from so many differing biases on our economy and fuel-usage.

Best answer:

Answer by Peter K
The oil is running out and there is no question about that. It won’t suddenly run out one day and that is the end of it. It will get more difficult to extract and so you will see the price rise steadily. No doubt there will be more wars about oil as it gets more scarce. Eventually people will have to switch to something renewable just because they can no longer afford oil.
