Good points on present state ... but technology will progress and wind and solar will be an increasing percentage of the power mix. Solar panels are cheaper and more efficient every month and popping up on rooftops every where - disturbed power. Wind farms only 10 years old are being retrofitted with larger turbines and gear boxes to generate more power from the same foundation. Off shore wind power is just getting traction in the US and will add substantial power in the next 10 years. Nukes are being sunset. Natural gas is on a tear now but fracking issues loom large. Fossil fuels may never be fully replaced but they will decrease over the long haul with a slight uptick as Nukes are sunset. In 100 years solar, wind and other renewables will be a major major component of the mix.
