Will we ever shake our dependence on fossil fuels? -Green Living!

Will we ever shake our dependence on fossil fuels? Please don%26#039;t go in depth with all the different alternative sources of energy and alternative fuels. Let%26#039;s go beyond that and answer whether or not we as humans have the will to make the switch where fossil fuels only make up a small portion of our energy sources. Let%26#039;s face it, we already have the technological capability.

It will be a while and after a big struggle. I%26#039;m thinking closer to 100 years.

I predict we will in 50 -100 years
Yes, we will. It will be a long, slow process. At the last minute, when there is no other choice, we will finally move on.
I%26#039;m sure we will some day. I don%26#039;t want to be forced into changing too soon, but when the right alternative comes along, we%26#039;ll all jump on board.

Too bad no feasible alternatives have surfaced yet, but when oil supplies start running low in a few hundred years, we%26#039;ll have something else to take its place.

But until then, we need to drill for it at home so we don%26#039;t make all our enemies so rich and powerful.
Sure, when we run out of fossil fuels!
As long as the energy and oil companies are making a big profit, and contributing large amounts to the politicians the government won%26#039;t halt the use, and the companies are not about to bankrupt themselves.
we depend on fossil ; and we should keep drilling
If our %26quot;Environmentalists%26quot; that killed our Nuclear Program will allow it to go again, yes. No other known option that can provide the massive amount needed 24 hours a day.
