I think you're trying to imply this is bad, but for a happier angle on it, let's add to the list of things we're using up: time. We have a giant sun that's only going to be here once. Don't waste the finite time that it's given us for existence, advancement, building, providing for our descendants, playing, consuming the finite resources :) > We might need it in the future. Or we might discover an unlimited source of it. Unlikely? sure. But the problem with "what if" is that it's just too vague with the assumptions to add clarity, when we can't predict the repercussions of the even flap of a butterfly's wings (to borrow the expression).
