In the same logic, the age of carbon fuels is just about over. Renewable energies are simply better in the long run -- they will not every run out. That's not ideology or propaganda; it's reality.
There is probably 100 years of oil left, 300 years of coal, 1000 years of fissionalble material. Yes we need to start making intelligent decisions to extend those numbers but there is no need to panic yet! And there is no need to phase them out prematurely either.
