or maybe, as fossil becomes more scarce and prices rise, we develop more efficient means of harvesting solar and wind energy.
malthus thought the same things about food that you think about energy. but instead of global food wars, the green revolution happened, we became more efficient at producing food, and massive famine / famine-war didn't happen.
