Do you really think we will have replaced the necessary infrastructure in time to feed 11 Billion people in 100 years with past peak crude oil prices spiking to $2-300/ barrel. Watch Nate Hagens excellent discussion on the relation of fossil fuel and economy/ standard of living.

He euphemistcally refers to "a few speed bumps" along the way. I would rather we call it like it is. World wars until we run out of fuel for the last bomber, centuries long famine, and a centuries long mass depopulation event of humans and all food species that is unfathomable to 99.999% of the general public today.

Sorry. We have our head in the sand.

We need to pull out all of the stops now and use our current fossil fuel wealth to craft a new way. It takes a massive effort of 100 years using fossil fuel to save the disaster that is coming in 100 years.
