Humans are oil-powered, so it becomes a game of defining "oil related", really. And yeah, in this instance electric isn't necessarily automatically better, because all electricity production relies somewhat on oil and oil-products, which is indeed one reason oil should be saved for the important stuff. It's step in the right direction, but that all makes absolutism hard.

@Platoscave The planet is absolutely fucked anyway, and it has mostly to do with population. I wish solutions were that easy, but if people can't vote in politicians that support even reduction in pollution & exploitation, what chance does expecting people to make personal sacrifices have? Sure, there are other things people can do in support, but voting is really the most effective. Short of tilling the soil by hand in the nude to plant seeds left by your grandfather (which, admittedly, sounds fun but can't actually sustain people) what you're asking for is actually impossible, which is why absolutism does more harm than good.
