No. What I want is a way to get to work each day, so that I can pay my mortgage and grocery bills. I like having a roof over my head and food in the kitchen. Buying oil is simply a means to those ends, not what I want to buy in the first place.
If I could buy a pure electric car, I would.
If I could buy a water-powered car, I would.
If I could buy a short-range teleporter, I would.
Unfortunately, none of that is on the market for a price I can actually afford (don't point at the Tesla or the Leaf; buying either one would mean giving up on food because of the loan payments).

Only because oil is permitted so many externalities.
The real cuplrits much further up the management chain will get away scott free.
