A generation is in the 25-30 year range. So really you are worrying about your grandchildren's grandchildren.
What magic element are we going to make plastics or rubbers from?
A one-hundred year plan is destined to fail, you need to plan for the near future using known metrics, not some crystal ball or what might be.
Stating 100% what 100 years from now looks like, is idiotic.

What? Kids that are born in the next 10 years will be around in 100 years. Their kids are the ones who are going to be facing a potential Alberta without nearly the same demand for Oil.
Alright, 100% was obviously an exaggeration but you can put a pretty good guess on where demand for oil as a combustion trigger will go in 100 years considering the direction that technology is going in and environmental impact.
