They will, just as they switched from using Whale oil when it ran out but like whale oil and petroleum, it will not likely be truly renewable, it will just last longer.

If there was a new energy source, a new way to covert energy into a useful form at a low cost we would already be using it.

If we fail to find a cheaper way to use increasing amounts of energy our standard of living will decline and we will enter into a dark age that will last until we once again are able to increase our use of energy.

So can we switch? Yep no choice but we need much more energy at much lower cost and current renewables will not do that.
