Our descendants have to do it. Coal, oil, and natural gas have maybe a century left. Fracking made more hydrocarbons accessible, but the supply is still quite finite.

We can't do the thing suggested upthread, eliminating dependence on all consumable energy sources by harnessing current wind and solar technology. Ultimately I agree that we have to find a way to do it. But there's a virulent belief that we can do it with technology that is being produced today, or might be produced in the near future if demand changed. No.
