What alternatives are there to oil? What is the best?

What alternatives are there for crude oil that can be a substitute for everything that has crude oil in?

  • Answer:

    Nothing. There are some things that can be used for certain things, but there is no substitute for the real thing in all applications. Most substitutes are made from natural gas or coal and cost more both in money and in energy than the original oil would. Therefore the only reason to use them is when there is no access to oil.
