The transition from wood to coal, coal to oil, now oil and coal to natural gas, and then natural gas to renewable energy each have taken and will take many decades. Each transition from one dominant fuel to another has taken 50 to 60 years. For example coal supplied 5 percent of all fuels by 1840 but still supplied only 50% by 1900.
Oil did not surpass coal until 1964.
Read about it in Scientific American.
