Of the fossil fuels, natural gas emits less carbon dioxide than oil (though the gas itself, methane, is a powerful greenhouse gas and there are serious leakage problems with its use).
Any of the renewable sources of energy are better than oil. Solar, geothermal, wind, hydro etc, all have zero greenhouse gas emissions.
