Why are we still dependent on Fossil Fuels?

Ever since the industrial revolution, fossil fuels continue to become the core fuel source that run everything technological and mechanic, literally almost everything in today's society uses fossil fuels. We depend on fossil fuels like water for our body. We become thirsty for energy constantly because everything we do is dependent on fossil fuel. Today 85% of the world's energy is from fossil fuels and the rest by renewable energy. Renewable energy is far to compete against fossil fuels in everything it encompasses including efficiency, cost and price. In the movie, the crude awakening, it mentions that "oil is our god", in some degree that is true especially in a society that is hungry for energy.  Unfortunately our world is growing hungrier for energy as developing nations quickly catch up with the rest of the world. For example China and India together are the highest fossil fuel consuming and demanding nations in the world. Of course, this is justified because of their mass population but as we are constantly told, oil doesn't grow on trees. As demand exponentially rises our supply only drops even faster. It's inevitable, we are running out of fossil fuels but we still use it like it's endless. The reason for this is because we have been using fossil fuels for decades and we never imagined an end to it. Throughout the years, we have developed technological advancements in producing efficient energy from fossil fuels and found all the ways to locate and refine the resources. We have invested too much on something we relied on and, at the same time, we were blind to see its depletion. We were warned even before the world-scale industrial boom but we chose to ignore it because we couldn't fathom a time where fossil fuel has run out. But in the end, it is inevitable. Sooner or later it will end (maybe even in our lifetime) so we must find alternatives of energy and invest on its future it holds.
