Don't mind my english...

By the time we have spacecraft going to Mars or other planets, which I see will only happens in hundred or so years from now (if it does happens). Around that time, are we still using oil as fuel or energy? Won't we be using other alternative stuff (solar? fusion?) as fuel or energy?

My point is that, currently as we are having oil crisis (either through rising oil prices and oil reserve getting less and less). Aren't our scientist researching other alternative stuff to replace oil? Granted, eventhough such research is currently still in it's infancy stage. But in another hundred or so years from now. I'm sure they have either found or perfected these alternative to replace oil as fuel or energy.
