oil is used to mine the coal, and then transport the coal to the coal power station to power the factory.

oil is used to mine the iron ore used to build the factory

oil is used to transport the staff who run the factory to and from work every day.

oil is also used to produce or help produce all comoditys that factory consumes to run

with the cooking coal, again you need massive amounts of oil to mine the cooking coal, as well as transport it to burn to make your steel, which you make from iron and nickel which is made from mining using oil

transporting the product use's less oil than making it.

No alternative is being developed for oil, there is none.



and if most important will be electisity, how do you think you will get uranium / gas / etc and transport it to power stations

and if you are one of those renewable energy guys, this will never happen, there is no way we can properly power our countrys energy needs with renewable energy, and as soon as cars are electric the demand is going to increase many fold making the target supply you need far well out of the reach of renewable energy.. making nuclear the only answer, and which case needs oil for mining it out the ground, and processing it.

prety arrogant of you to say to research before posting, as clearly you have not done any of this.
