Are you aware that only about 60% of a barrel of oil goes into the making of fuel? The whole reason that you can type your thoughts on your keyboard is because it is made from oil, many of the roads you drive on, (asphalt) comes from oil.
Many medical supplies and surgical aides comes from oil, and the list is vast indeed.
We will be quite dependent on oil for some time to come. Don't get me wrong, it will be wise to reduce the usage where ever possible by we can't easily eliminate it.

So we drill here and tell the Arabs to go to hell.
I would pay extra for an American made keyboard, but wouldn't need to as prices would stabilize.
