Natural Gas and Coal may be tapped more heavily in the future, but we will (probably) never use wood/charcoal or any other material in high quantities to produce energy because of how inefficient and expensive other materials are...

Millions of people burn wood in fireplaces, pellet stoves, and wood furnaces every year to generate energy.

I can't see us using wood for electricity, but as a nation we still burn a crap load of it for energy.
