Actually the process of producing ammonia is fairly efficient.
I wouldn't be surprised if ammonia and all the raw hydrogen used in industry was still made from natural gas 100 years from now.
The number 1 consumer of fossil fuels is power generation by a lot.
The US military uses around 300,000 barrels of oil per day.
If most of the 20 million barrels of oil per day the US uses could be replaced with electric then the military could use their 300,000 per day just about indefinitely.
That could be further reduced by the navy going with more nuclear ships and the DoD using battery powered ground vehicles where it makes sense and the air force cutting back some flying hours.
