  Point being, there’s no hypothetical future civilization because we’re eliminated that possibility

    Yes, but you’re assuming that a future civ requires fossil feuls to advance.

    Metals and plastic aren’t a problem as they don’t simply go away.

      Plastics don’t take recycling well, even today we can barely do it.

      With metals, they’re still around, but we’ve distributed them so widely, plus whatever gets lost to erosion and rust over time, that it would probably be impossible to collect them in any significant quantities.
