And unfortunately, you may well be right. However, I see it a little differently. I enjoy the air I breathe. Logic dictates that eventually, wind and solar will surpass other energy sources and they will provide the very energy they require to provide for their own production.
I think the global economic crash will come regardless. The increase in solar and wind energy production may slow that crash down, but it will also ease the transition toward a less destructive species. And from a selfish POV, I wouldn't feel the impact of such a crash anywhere near as much as those who are totally dependent on fossil fuels.
