If the use of finite resources will leave our children worse off, then we should stop all use of them immediatly. But if we shut down our transportation industries, wont future generations be worse off as our economy implodes?

Why is stopping all use of finite resources the only option? Why isn’t it an option to regulate usage of fossil fuels through CAFE mpg standards and at the same time incentivizing creation of green technology through government programs?
This will allow the finite fossil fuels to last longer, reduce pollution, and give the government-supported scientists at universities more time to create alternative energy sources. It was government-supported scientists who created Google and other great technologies.
The government has created great things in the past and can again in the future if we let it.
