Automobiles are the best invention human race has made.

How would be transport extremely heavy machinery thousands of miles?

We wouldn't

What delivers the supplies to build your house? Trucks
What makes food readily available for you to buy and eat? Trucks.

A bunch of animals pulling 5 tons is not going to happen. they would get tired after a few miles. Also how are you going to get mass amount of feed and water to keep them alive. A lot more difficult most parts of the world would never even get reached.

Today's world has it really easy all the supplies they need to live are brought to them.Your only talking about combustible engines that burn oil. Their are several other types of fuels and engines we can use. Oil its just the most effective. Combustible engines are only like 40% effective the rest is just heat. The Tranmission is whats doing all the work. I have a gmc k1500 truck that gets like 12 miles a gallon and its awesome.

Positives most definitively over power the negatives.

R315r4z0r your really over estimating the power of automobiles and their use in society.

SSnipe don't pick automobiles as your topic.

Think of it as this: If we wouldn't be able to move heavy machinery 1000's of miles, wouldn't we have found a different solution to either not need to move them or make them smaller so we could move it.

Oh and Oil isn't the most effective, it's just the cheapest because we're not paying the real economic price. That's right, oil is CHEAPER than it should be.
The reason green energy is not competitive with oil is that companies look at the ROI and replacement value of things. With solar panels and wind turbines these things are obvious. With oil they are not, as one does not have to invest in oil it self. It's just there, and you only need to invest in a way to "harvest" it. Problem is, normally one would take into account that your company's "stock" would deplete. With oil this does not or has not happened in the past, making oil cheap. Now however it means that oil corporations will face more and more problems due to the decreasing amount of harvestable oil.
The low prices for oil where also an advantage to the industry. Since it was cheap and seemed endless, everyone started to rely on oil and not invest in more durable but expensive alternatives.
