Could you show me a link to the new cargo ships that are being manufactured to run without fossil fuels.  How about the locomotive engines for all the trains.  How about heavy equipment for construction and agriculture and mining?  Are plastics being made without fossil fuels?  Worldwide oil demand has increased every year except for one(after the 2008 crash)  If you think petroleum is no longer necessary then walk the walk; lets shut down Vancouver Airport.  Shut down the ferries.
