Dumb burger, you can just use solar/wind/whatever to power Fischer-Tropsch. Ofc the price will be higher, but it's a viable solution since to my knowledge, renewable energy produces more energy over its lifetime than it costs to initially produce it. The whole point is that currently, it's easier to pump oil from the ground than do Fischer-Tropsch, but that will change once the the reservoirs dry out.
Another point is that plant biomass can also be a source of carbon, which is even easier to refine into oil and/or liquid energy stuff (CO2 takes a lot more energy). The chinks, for example, produce fucktons of methanol from (char-)coal and germans even produced edible margarine from coal during ww2.
