Complicit isn't really the right word at all. For many Americans (probably most) that have a job, they have to get to their job to make money to continue to exist and support themselves and their families. Because of the lack of public transportation (also not their fault) they more than likely need a car. In order to get things they need for their household they have to go shop for them (using a car) or ordering them (having them delivered). Also, I'm not sure how you think the average person influences the energy policies for the fire department, police, Amazon, or car manufacturers. For most people they have no say in any of this and use the things they need to to continue to get by. We are not all complicit, especially considering complicit is defined as illegal or wrongdoing.

Your comment seems to imply the average person has the same power, capabilities, lobbying ability, voice, free time on their hands, and money that someone in the government/politics/large lobbying firm/large corporation would have to dedicate to these things. I'm pretty sure for most people that's not the case at all.

Yes, we are complicit.

For some that means careful reconsideration of petrochemical usage, with the intent of gradually reducing usage and focusing on alternatives and strategic workarounds for the post peak-oil future.

For other's that means "drill-baby-drill" and race to bottom out the price of oil to the point where it's cheaper than water (actually, it already is if you consider bottled drinking water)-- without consideration for the fact that petroleum is a finite resource and there's no "free-refill".
