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.
