The way it looks right now, energy demand is set to explode, and oil and gas are the easiest ways to meet that demand.
Shy of some herculean effort (a la pandemic style massive monetary injection into renewable energy), I don't see this as being unrealistic at all.

This is excluding the rest of the world. There are plenty of reasons we could screw this up, but assuming renewables won’t tear into fossil electricity generation is a terrible bet.
