We'll use other hydrocarbons assuming we haven't mostly (hopefully) transitioned off of hydrocarbons by then. Coal (which can be liquefied), natural gas, there is a lot of energy left in the ground.
But the dirtiness of burning hydrocarbons has become well recognized so it looks like we won't get to that point at all.

I'm convinced that some countries won't make the necessary investments to switch quickly enough, and will continue to be primarily dependent upon hydrocarbons for energy. The fact that El Cheeto and his friends are opening up lands in the Arctic for drilling a few days ago is one example.
