You're right, we have much more oil than water in the world, we should stick to oil, it causes less conflicts.
According to your logic there's 1000 times more oil than water in the world...

ding ding ding!
we have a winner.
Imagine conflicts over oil x 1000 when talking about remaining water sources. Do some googling on "water wars" to get an idea of how serious the problem is, and imagine sucking up exponentially more water to run cars. Not the best idea.

What I mean is that conflict over water would likely be much more violent/entrenched, since one cannot live without water but oil is not an absolute necessity to survive.

In what peaceful "oil-conflict free" world do you live in?

You are an idiot if you believe that.

I am by no means saying that oil does not drive conflict, but I am saying that I believe the coming scarcity of drinkable water is going to cause more problems than oil does. For example, the biggest (and only according the Economist) barrier between a Israeli-Syrian peace settlement is an argument over water rights in the sea of galilee and golan heights. The huge dam the chinese are building is already pissing people off in Laos and other surrounding countries. Water table levels in continental europe have fallen precipitously, etc.
Basically, a water shortage affects everyone in the world, b/c everyone needs relatively large quantities of water. There are already alternatives to oil, and many countries do not need copious amounts of oil to survive. That is why I said that I think trying to replace oil with water (in cars, etc) will only exaccerbate an already growing problem.

Trust me, we are not going to run out of water.
