A related question I think about from time to time. If our energy consumption grows, how soon we will destabilize the Earth? Even 100% clean energy, if infused

A related question I think about from time to time. If our energy consumption grows, how soon we will destabilize the Earth?
Even 100% clean energy, if infused into the system may increase temperature, or speed up circulation of currents, and other effects.
Of course, it's not nesessary all energy goes into temperature. Some can be conserved, e.g. as chemicals.
But in general, the more energy we have in our disposal, the more potential for damage.
We will dig deeper, smelt more ore, etc, etc.
