Or do the bulldozer's mining the ores and minerals we make renewable infrastructure out run on tar sand oil?

The way I see it, we can all:
1) Burn oil and bitch
2) Burn oil, bitch and maybe have renewable infrastructure in place by the time we are baked off the earth
3) Stop burning so much damn oil (and reorganize our economy)

Or maybe Im missing something.
