One thought/suggestion to use in a discussion with someone that says “if we can put a man on the moon, we can come up with a replacement for oil.”

You can take energy and make anything, but you can’t take anything and make energy.

Fossil Fuels + Man’s ingenuity = Man on the Moon

Man’s inguenity – Fossil Fuels = Man on stationary bicyle pumping water out of the ground for his garden and family.

Things change quickly without unlimited amounts of energy.
