Eventually we will run out of fossil fuels. But I don't think "somewhat soon" is accurate, in human terms.
And the real question is, is the carbon held in those fossil fuels enough to fuck us up? Because we could, in theory, burn them all up in one day, and that would end the burning of fossil fuels -- but it wouldn't end the consequences of that event.
