Yes, but even if we just use the electrical generation infrastructure that we already have we'll be ok from a generation stand point because of the energy it takes to refine, pump and dispense gasoline.
Add to that a smart grid and improve our over all energy efficiency and you will see the current trend continue, the current trend being that construction of renewable energy power plants outpaced non renewable energy power plant construction.
