What are the pros and cons of using oil?

  • Answer:

    It is pretty good for making lots of different things and using it as a fuel source. The down side is it will run out some day so don't know what will be used in place of it. One thing is certain society will have one heck of a culture shock when they cannot fly an airplane or maintain the current level of food production (farm machinery uses lots of gas).

The only pro is that it supports modern day industry, the cons are: pollution, global warming, supply is limited, petroleum products cause cancer, and it's use prevents the world from progressing to more efficient means of energy
