This is crazy!

Realistically we're not "replacing" oil, or gas, anytime soon. It's more a matter of making sure more of our energy comes from renewables as our energy needs grow. But the US is up to about 20% of its energy from renewables. Not bad for such a new tech, especially with solar now cheaper than coal. Some fuels will go earlier like coal, but that industry hasn't been growing for a long time. I'd like to see nuclear form our base load for electricity. Gas and batteries can then meet the difference(usually peak demand) between nuclear and solar/wind. Oil will be needed for fertilizer and plastics for a long time to come. At least without some incredible breakthrough.
