Really sorry to hear you talk this way.

It will be possible to transition to a fossil fuel free existence. And we could probably do it fairly seamlessly. If we start now and pull out all the stops. Similar to the focused labor effort in the USA during WW2. It takes 100 years to make this radical of a change to the world wide infrastructure and economy.
And it takes a huge amount ICE powered machinery to mine the resources and build the Giga factories that are needed to build this new world of alternative energy.
.
If we really wait and do business as usual for the next 75 years until the then diminishing crude oil supply pushes these projects out of reach there will be a crash and a big correction.
