Hiya,
Peak oil discoveries was in 1961.
Peak oil production was in ~1980.
Oil consumption is going up, and production is going down. The price goes up, and eventually oil supply is effectively gone.
Gee, we can blow through 200 million years worth of sunshine in around 200 years; releasing all that trapped carbon in a virtual instant.

The sun rises every day, and each hour of every day, more energy strikes the Earth that we use in a year. That's 8,760 X more energy than we use. This will continue for a few billion years, at least.
Wind blows almost all the time in many places around the world -- as long as the sun shines and the Earth spins.
Deep in the Earth's crust, the temperature is ~300C all the time, until the sun explodes.
The Moon will be orbiting the Earth longer than we can contemplate.
As long as we don't have any mass extinctions, plants will continue to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into concentrated energy -- this is how oil and coal were formed in the first place.
