So the main problem with fossil fuels is not pollution or global warming or any of that crap, the main problem with them is that they are finite and we will run out of them rather soon (1-2 centuries I would say).

Right now human civilisation is built exclusively on fossil fuels as an energy source. Nuclear/wind/solar are gimmicky bullshit fads. They exist solely on govenment subsidies, they are not profitable, they have scalability issues, they require fossil fuels to set up and to operate and most importantly, their output to input energy ratio is very low compared to fossils.

Because energy will become more and more expensive as time goes on, humanity will slowly decline and revert to pre-industrial state. Technological progress requires a lot of cheap energy and that is gone forever, meaning technological progress is mostly over, we will never have a significant QoL improvement ever again, we will not invent AI or fusion or travel space.

It's very sad and I don't want it to be that way, however it seems like this is our future. Is there anything wrong with my line of thinking?
