No, it's impossible to "go back" really, the future will have many of the problems of the past, combined w/ new problems we have created for ourselves since then.
This boils down to, then, that humanity won't invent a new supply of energy because 'it's different this time'?
Of course, every large challenge humanity has faced (and solved) has been different. What makes finite oil supplies so radically different that humanity cannot overcome it?
