Seems improbable. Fusion is seriously on course for twenty years. and world coal reserves are estimated in the centuries. I think it’s safe to say that not every mountain will go.

Answering rhetorical hyperbole aside, the implementation timeline for decommissioning the ENTIRE WORLD’S power infrastructure, and replacing it is quite long, and some of the more deleterious effects of fossil fuels are already being felt. It won’t be a pleasant century.
