The problem is one of incentive. If the machines had lost, what is the incentive for human beings to keep them around. We've had no problem doing without machines with no conciousness, so I can't imagine that we'd be willing to build that feature into our coffee makers again after the skies were set afire, etc. etc. The machines keeping the humans around is bad enough, as geothermal energy would be seemingly plentiful and less expensive (in Matrix development project (tm) hours). It would certainly last long enough for the machines to understand enough about rocketry to acquire interplanetary power sources. Plus, its a movie.
