Oil has lots more to do with everything else, besides power.

Virtually every plastic.

Copper manufacturing.

Lubricants.

Solar panels.

Windmills.

Etc.

You're wanting to push everyone back to the stone age.

    Plastic alternatives are in development and in various stages of manufacture. That’s a solved problem.

    The other oil could/should be recyclable, which is a lot better than burning it, never to be used again like in an engine.
