Running out of reserves isn't the first problem. The first problem is the climate impacts of burning the fossil fuels.

So we're going back to pastoral village life? We can't do everything with batteries.

If only there were any other source of energy than fossil fuels.

We can't do everything with batteries.

You can do a lot more than operate a Jethro Tull seed drill and plough. You can operate a modern household including my modern employment: computers, TVs, sound systems, stove, oven, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, hot water system, electric lights and security cameras. You can also have a modern car with a lot more acceleration than a ICE one.

It's difficult to fly with batteries. But with a bit of spare electricity, you can make aviation fuel out of seawater. The Navy's been doing it for a while.
