Name the replacements for oil and next to them what percentage you believe they'll come to represent as energy of the future.

According to the International Energy Agency, in 2020, oil accounted for 32% of global energy consumption, followed by coal (27%), natural gas (24%), and renewable energy (11%). Nuclear energy accounted for around 5%.
The most promising alternative to oil for powering the future is renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. These sources are clean, renewable, and have the potential to meet the world's energy needs without contributing to climate change.
There are several ways we can reduce our dependence on oil. We can invest in and promote the use of renewable energy sources, improve energy efficiency in industries, transportation, and buildings, and encourage the development and use of electric and hybrid vehicles.
It is unlikely that there will be a complete replacement for oil in the near future. While renewable energy sources are becoming more widely used, oil still plays a crucial role in many industries and transportation. However, with continued advancements in technology and a shift towards more sustainable practices, we may see a decrease in our dependence on oil over time.
The transition away from oil could have both positive and negative economic and environmental impacts. On the positive side, it could create new job opportunities in renewable energy industries and reduce our carbon emissions, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, there could also be economic challenges, such as the loss of jobs in the oil industry and the need for significant investments in new infrastructure. Additionally, the transition may not happen fast enough to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
