While its unlikely that energy, electrical and
otherwise, is infinite, it is really shortsighted to
assume that everything ends when economically available
fossil fuels run out, whenever that is. We haven't
really gotten serious about development of the
alternative possibilities because we haven't needed to.
There really is a closed-loop control system out there,
and it'll kick in in about 50 years.  Prices may rise
for a while then, but that's about it.  BTW, from what
I've heard increases in electrical power consumption
are lessening. The exponential model is not happening.
