Isnt it an established fact and not a myth that our fossil fuel reserve will be depleted in 48 years or so? We are leaving the 'fossil fuel ages' so its inevitable to transition into renewables.

I doubt i'll live long enough to witness this tipping point in human civilization but i imagine the air will be cleaner at least.

Thats proven currently economic supply.

Theres still vast amounts of lower quality / harder sources like tar sands and sea floor methane that humanity has barely touched.

At the current pace we will transition away long before they become economic.
