Overall demand could increase while at the same time the dependance on oil could be decreasing. You'd have to adjust for overall demand for energy; i.e. what percentage of total global energy usage does fossil fuels make up? If that's decreasing, then dependence on oil is decreasing. I have no idea of the actual numbers, but that's what decreasing dependence would mean to me.
