The oil industry isn't going to just disappear overnight. The world is dependent on those industries for more than just energy production (and even for energy production, there are things that will take a long time to develop before they can utilize any sort of fusion technology, such as transportation).

Change is coming, though, it's inevitable, and it's up to people to adapt, as far as massive monetary investments and such go.
