Oil and gas will likely continue to be important energy sources for decades, but renewable sources like solar and wind are growing dramatically and starting to replace fossil fuels in some areas as the technologies improve and costs come down. While the transition will take time, the trend is clear that renewable energy will increasingly displace oil and gas as a larger portion of the global energy supply over the coming decades and could replace them entirely before the end of the century if policies support further development of renewables.
