It’s pretty much impossible to go from an oil dependent economy to an oil free economy overnight. Even this current crisis is based on reduced availability. Not none. Current infrastructure would need to be used to create new, oil independent infrastructure. In much the same way that the original cars has their components shipped by barge, by steam train, by horse and cart etc.
The biggest issue that no “renewables” people want to address it the fact that without oil there are no “renewables“, or civilisation as we know it. Oil is in everything, used to make everything, and used to transport everything everywhere. It’s not hyperbole to say that there is literally no replacement for oil.
How do we build and transport any of those without oil? We make none of them here.
