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.

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.
