Finite but not any time in the near future. By the time it really gets
expensive they will be cracking coal and making liquid fuel from that.
That is a fairly old technology that will be upgraded. It may really
be the only way to have "clean coal" and coal is not going away.

Water is a far more serious problem. They are depleting "fossil water"
aquifers like the Ogalalla at an alarming rate. Just like oil, when
they are gone, they are gone. That will shut down our midwest farms
where most of our grains come from.

In the central valley in CA, they sometimes pump those giant wells dry
and have to wait for more water to seep in.
