Long before it is completely gone, it will become expensive, and
the world will migrate to something else by choice, such as
electric vehicles.
This reminds me of a similar discussion with vegetarians who
say that if we keep eating meet, we'll all starve because
to feed the cows takes so much farmland there will be a food
shortage.
In both cases, supply and demand laws of money will save
the day. When gas becomes $15/liter electric will seem
pretty darn good. And when beef is $45/kg tofu will
be darn tasty.
