Such shifts have occurred throughout history. We turned to kerosene lanterns after 1860 because whale oil was getting scarce. When oil supplies thin out, we may get a boost from natural gas. But natural gas supplies are also limited, which means we must eventually turn to running our cars on electricity or hydrogen generated from electricity.

And we get hydrogen from where? Oh yeah from fossil fuel... never mind.
