I don't want to go offtopic for too long, but the way I see it is not a matter of "sooner or later", it's a matter of "soon or we're screwed later". If we only act when oil prices are exorbitant, at that point there's no time or energy to update the energy infrastructure.
PS: Oil will still exist, it's just that it may be too expensive to extract. Soon thereafter it may become energetically not worth it (i.e. it would require more energy to extract it than the energy recovered from it).
