What if oil never existed?

Answer 1

there would be almost no pollution. our rivers would be good drinking water, our skies would not have a haze over them. there would not be any atom bombs. no nuclear threats hovering over our heads. very few locked doors. no more need for alarm systems. criminals would actually be punished for thier crimes not allowed to watch tv and write novels. even though it seems hard to live without, the world would be better off if it had never been .

Answer 2

If oil never existed, our world would likely have developed alternative energy sources much earlier, and our reliance on fossil fuels would be significantly reduced. The global economy and transportation systems would have evolved differently, possibly emphasizing renewable energy technologies from the start. The environmental impact of industries that heavily rely on oil, such as transportation and manufacturing, would be less severe.
