Not so much, sadly, at least on the energy front. Not enough raw materials in the crust of the earth to build the batteries to make the machines go go go as much as we make them go go go on petroleum.

While tech can provide an emergency bridge, nothing we can do in the short term can completely obviate the need for fossil fuels. Lifestyle change is critical to long-term survival.
