The typical electric car people want to buy has probably used more oil by the time you buy it than you will ever run through it's gas tank.

I think we need to let it take some time, electric cars are the easiest to switch fast. Then when batteries are cheaper we can start making all trucks electrical. For planes we can use biofuels, there have been several successful tests mixing biofuel with jetfuel. The real hard part will be ships.
I'm optimistic and think that by 2020 all cars sold will be electric and by 2050 95% of all transportation will be electric and the rest will use biofuels.
Hopefully generation 4 nuclear plants will solve any problems we will have generating electricity.
