Agreed. As I pointed out above, to me the sensible approach is to limit petroleum to those uses where alternatives are not that appealing. Things like transportation. Most other uses, heating, power generation, chemical manufacture, can be performed using alternative carbon sources (coal/natural gas).
You should contact those folks already doing this & inform then that they are folls & this cannot be done!
