oil will not last forever, and that
is no science fiction


True.

But the sun won't last forever, either. Is that a reason not to rely on solar power for as long as the sun remains around?

Hydro-electric dams won't last forever, either. At some point the earth will be demolished, and there go all our dams and hydro plants. Is that a reason not to rely on hydro-electric power while we can?

The one thing we know is that we cannot accurately predict when oil, or solar, or hydro-electric power will be exhausted. So we plug along the best we can, making reasonable plans for the future but knowing what we don't know.
