We will run out of oil in less then 100 years - and it it is the most optimistic prognosis. Sooner or later we MUST develop a profitabble Fussion reaction or our whole civilization will cramble 
I have a proposal! We go to Titan using a Fusion Engine and harvest the natural gasses abundant on it and bring them back to earth so the Oil companies stay happy. I think some of the estimates around suggest Titan has enough natural gas to power all of the earth for something like 50 Million years.
Titan Natural Gas?
Nobody light a match.  (Not that that would do anything without some oxygen.)
