Jevons Paradox will take care of it[1]. The more efficiently a resource is used, the more demand there is for it.
The grave implication of Jevons paradox is that the fundamental conflict between sustainability and economic progress is not resolved solely by using resources more efficiently. It's a theory of supply chain constraints essentially. Once a resource is used more efficiently, its use is increased until the next most economically constrained resource hits its economically useful limit.
