This analogy doesn’t really stand. The reason we haven’t run out of oil and gas as predicted since the '70s because this panic drove energy prices up. The price rise allowed companies to figure our how to dig further, or find other ways to extract valuable resources. The price increase also forced other companies to figure out how these resources could be used more efficiently.
We don’t have infinite resources, but we are really creative on how to find alternatives to solve a problem.
A more fitting analogy would be if right now all the LEGO factories would stop producing, and you start building the largest LEGO building imaginable from scratch. You might be able to get all the pieces together at one point, but the Sun would explode first. (added for dramatic effect)
The difficulity is getting the pieces from all the places in the world. Even from under the sea.

The picture is short a few pieces?

You talk about alternatives yet none of your examples are of alternative solutions
