I don't know about the oil part but "It is important to develop alternative

sources of energy because scientists are unsure of how long they will last"

Explanation:

Because they are nonrenewable resources, it takes hundreds to millions of years for them to be made again naturally. Once we're out, we're out. It would be a huge issue of that happened because Oil, Petroleum, and Natural Gas (all fossil fuels) are needed for heating, gas stoves, etc.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
