Over the past century, global dependence on oil has been a central pillar of modern civilization, powering everything from transportation to manufacturing. The question, 'can we survive without oil,' is no longer a fringe idea but a critical consideration for a sustainable future. Moving past this reliance would necessitate a paradigm shift across all sectors, from energy production to everyday consumer products.

Over 80% of the world's energy supply still comes from fossil fuels, a finite resource nearing depletion, forcing humanity to look for sustainable alternatives. While solar, wind, and other renewables are immediate solutions, the true "last resort for energy" for civilization lies in technologies capable of providing power on a truly global and long-term scale. These include harnessing the Earth's internal heat and replicating the energy production of stars through nuclear fusion.
