By the year 2050 AD, we will have run out of all the economically recoverable fossil fuels. Our natural gas will be exhausted. Our oil will be exhausted. We will still have about 100 years supply of coal left if we are willing to put up with the "greenhouse gases" that result from using it. We will still have available alternate sources of energy, among them water power, geo-thermal power from the heat deep in the earth, wood power from burning biomass fuels, tidal power from the movement of the tides in the northern latitudes, and solar energy from the sun, which is good for another few billion years. We will have wind power, which is now being utilized more and more, even in the western New York state area.
