Eh, oil is considerably more resilient than coal just because it's necessary for so many more things. Passenger automobile fuel isn't the be all, end all. Also, how many places on earth would have the generation capacity to handle a full switch-over? Seems like that would take a long damn time.
But it's basically impossible to predict the course of technology more than a decade out. Also, Trump will probably have us all back in the stone age long before this becomes an issue...
