Just curious, in the current climate, if we lost all oil/petrolium/diesel/gas, do we have the systems in place to mine, refine, design, build renewable vehicles and power systems?
E.g. Do we have EV mining equipment to mine the oar to refine in an electric refinery, to get the materials to build in electric factories to make electric cars/trains/planes/shipping freighters?

If by “we” you mean the US, then no, not really. You have a particular shortage of nickel, lithium and rare earths, which would make domestic manufacture and production of EVs very difficult.
