We've been hearing that for what? a hundred years now..?

Oil is the result of plant matter etc heading deep underground due continental plate tectonics, which is an ongoing process.

This I do know:
Mining Lithium etc for batteries and solar cells is not sustainable.
Also; is it the cleaner, greener route???
