By 2075 every house in every sunny spot of the world will have solar panels for electricity and heating. Tall commercial buildings will kiss airspace good-bye and install wind generators in their rooftops. That leaves the industry out in the cold. Since by 2075 99.999999% of the global industry will be located in China that's going to be a very localized problem. The UN will head a project to create hubs of heavily-guarded nuclear power-plants near the industrial centers and all will be fine.
If by 2080 the global energy demand falls by 1000% because every house returned to candle lighting, well, at least you saved the planet.
Nuclear power is the answer, not as a means of generating power as firstly thought, but as the bringer of nuclear doomsday.
