The issue with fossil fuels isn't how much there is left, it is how much more CO2 we can release into the atmosphere while keeping the place livable. More generally, the larger the economy the more energy we degrade, and the more entropy we generate (in the form of pollution and environment destruction). Our economy today is possibly already too large for our long term survival, and event if it isn't I'd rather we avoid crossing the threshold unknowingly. But off course no one ever died in a fire they themselves had started. Let's keep on fanning the flames.
