That seems like a bizarre thing to believe. When humanity switched from wood to coal for heating, or from coal to oil, were either of those an identifiable "historical event"? If we switch from oil to other fuels in our lifetimes, this will happen so gradually that nobody will notice when it happens. Any more than we noticed as "an interesting historical event" the moment that everybody got an email address, or started using google, or bought a smartphone.
