Oil Advantages and DisadvantagesOil Advantages and Disadvantages
Low land use
Easily transportedwithin and between countries
High netenergy yield
Low cost (withhuge subsidies)
Ample supply for42–93 years
Advantages
Moderate waterpollution
Releases CO2 when burned
Air pollutionwhen burned
Artificially low price encourageswaste and discourages search for alternatives
Need to findsubstitute within50 years
Disadvantages
