Answer 1

We can, but there is one problem: producing gasoline takes a lot of energy which is then stored inside it until you burn it. Now think about how we use the gasoline that we just dig up and purify to use its energy to power cars and all sorts of other things and how we struggle to replace that energy with other sources.
