But it isn't going to end sudddenly any time soon, in my opinion.

I used to live in Zimbabwe, where coal reserves which have not even been touched yet, are reckoned to be enough to keep Europe going for the next 500 years at the present rate of consumption!

Nuclear technology is becoming much safer - the same is true of newer coal-burning power stations. Developments such as LED lighting can reduce our consumption of electricity.

If technology and science really does continue to race ahead ever faster, perhaps the worst case is that we just have to move off-planet one day?
