Extinction, sure. But once we loose too many people, some industries become impractical. If the supply chain for mineral extraction fails, we will likely fall to a pre industrial level. And with all of easy-to-glean coal, gas, and other petrols already used up, there can never be another industrial revolution.

Could we use biomass and hydro to bootstrap without fossil fuels?

We might have to go smaller scale, but if we have a playbook to follow, we can skip some wasteful false starts

Try it using only metals salvaged from the dump, and forged by hand.
