What chemical can you add to oil so you cannot use it as an energy scorce?

If you do not want to use oil as an energy source, no one is forcing you to do so. You don't have to add a chemical to oil to prevent yourself from using it. Perhaps you intend to add a chemical to someone else's oil, to prevent them from using it, but that would be vandalism.In broad social terms, if you would like people in general to stop using oil as an energy source, the best way to accomplish that is to support or introduce other, better energy sources, such as solar power. Oil will still have important uses in the petrochemical industry even if it is not used as an energy source.
