As skybird pointed out, there IS a solution getting off the oil IV but special interest groups (like Big Oil and automakers) are blocking the progress for as long as they can do so.
So they'll whine and delay to make the oil stay until it's gone, then they'll sell us "new" technology that is completely independent of oil.
