In case of apocalypsis, debris of our civilization will provide huge supplies of metals. Much cheaper to process than raw ore.

Coal is a different thing. That said, I think that it's not necessary to have very cheap coal and oil energy to have technological advances.

Ahhh that’s why we haven’t met the aliens yet, they’re waiting for us to extract all the metals.
