Because even if you rationed oil for transportation, it's still going to grow sparse - and there's no reason to believe that the demand for transportation is going to go down. At best, the rationing scheme will slow down the current problem, and then you're back to where they are right now, trying to find viable and cheaper replacements for oil.

Lets solve the easy problems first.

Plus you can make oil from air plus energy. Coal plus water is even easier.

All we need to do is reduce the cost somewhat, it's not necessary to solve it fully.
