### Absolutely no reason for peak total fossil at least for a hundred
years, if not more. Proven reserves alone are sufficient for that
long, even without counting methane clathrates. Try wikipedia.

And absolutely no need to be restricted to renewables. Existing
technologies alone (nuclear, deep geothermal) are sufficient to keep
us running at current levels for thousands of years. Again, try
wikipedia.
