Exactly. And the current (and still growing) population has only been made possible via that vast consumption of super dense fossil energy. And can't continue at this level of wealth, surplus, and consumption, as it starts to dwindle in 30 years. There is no viable replacement for liquid fuel at anywhere near this scale.

If you really want a well rounded understanding of the feasibility of rebuildables replacing what we have now, you will want to pick up a copy of David MacKay's book, "without the hot air".
