Ok, maybe, but...

Probably the only viable alternative to our petroleum based economy is solar - electric.

Put solar cells on every south facing roof/building surface, and you might have a chance of moving away from Hydrocarbon based fuels.

Even a magic 50% reduction in fuel consumption is still consumption, and still "Less Billions" or was it "fewer billions" in oil company pockets. Less Billions is still better than no billions.
