There have been plenty of efforts to convert old oil & gas facilities into solar facilities, it actually makes the solar more economical since a lot of the infrastructure is already there. Not sure about oil sands - probably not close enough to where the power is needed. But lots of bureaucratic obstacles to doing it.
