We still need that stuff for plastics and crap.

After the tar sands are used up still other sources will become viable, eukaryotic biomass for example!
Do you know how many people die each year? That is a lot of potential oil we aren't exploiting...renewable too.

Its not the same kind of oil if I am not mistaken. There is far less usable biomass than is needed to continue oil consumption at even present levels much less in the future.
