We have at least a century of fossil fuels which gives us plenty of time to build out nuclear, develop fusion energy and expand into space. Geoengineering can prevent the worst predictions of climate calamity. Population is stagnant or in decline throughout the developed world so our needs are not expanding exponentially. AI and autonomous robots will also increasingly do the dirty work of mining on Earth, under the seas, and in space. Fuels can be synthesized in situ from water in asteroids, using solar and nuclear energy.
There are many technologies and paths forward. If you want to be a fatalistic sadboy that's your choice.
