Which will be spectacularly hard to do without the fuel to do it.

What I am concerned about is that one way or another, our civilisation will fall, be it from the last oil shock, environmental change, a new disease, galactic conquest or what have you. Even if this is the one that will last, it will not do so forever- I don't think anyone can believe that it could. The problem is that no future civilisation can possibly grow to our technological level and revive science and everything again without an industrial revolution, and there cannot be another industrial revolution without fossil fuels. And there will be no fossil fuels if we use them all up in this civilisation.
