There is already hydrothermal power in cold places like Canada and Russia, so the temperature drop would have to happen before we got to the point where we had access to that technology.
Oct 30, 2018 at 13:06 comment added Onlyjob Thanks. I suppose I mostly thought of depleted fuels in addition to extreme cold. However on its own lack or limited availability (great cost, etc.) of fossil fuels means agricultural revolution and difficulties of getting all other power sources on industrial scale... I mean lack of fossil fuels would be a strong limiting factor. How strong if strong enough to fulfil the requirements I'm not sure.
Oct 30, 2018 at 12:54 comment added John Locke Great answer, but can you elaborate on the second option of depleted fuels? What point would that have to happen at? If we ran out of fossil fuels now, we would still have solar, wind, hydro power, etc.
