I mean, maybe it's time to switch to electric. You know, when digital cameras first came out, they were under 1 megapixel, powered by NiCad batteries which gave like 30-50 shots before dying and the images were saved on memory cards at least twice the size of modern SD cards with a capacity measured in tens of megabytes. By comparison, film was still better and cheaper even for another decade. Market demand produced better digital cameras and the price of film continued to increase. Now film is a luxury novelty that no professional photographer will bother with.
The biggest difference here is actually the fact that petroleum is a finite resource. The only thing keeping it from dying is market demand, which is fickle and propped up by the need for transportation. It is going to die. As if all this wasn't reason enough, there's also climate change.
