A few things
I agree with the second poster on the fuel efficiency reducing oil consumption. But Electric is not going make an impact until there is a better/cheaper alternative to Lithium-ion batteries. This is not enough readily available lithium or the other minerals in the batteries to make all the mandated electric cars (Europe and California).
Roads. If the oil industry shuts down, we lose one of the most important sources of material for roads: Asphalt. How you gonna make roads without asphalt?
Concrete: The making of concrete makes a LOT of CO2. If this is the alternative to asphalt, and CO2 is bad, then this is not the alternative.
