You seem to be misunderstanding. We will not run out of energy. We will run out of cheap energy with high returns. That's what matters.

No we won't. I mean temporarily sure the cost of energy will increase until it reaches a point that it makes the expenditure required to develop the infrastructure for other erergy options economically viable.

After that, near limitless energy that is far cheaper to generate than the current paradigm.

Also I think you have misunderstood me.

I don't mean run out of energy as in "have zero energy available to us". Of course I realise that's not what you meant. I mean run out of energy as in "no longer have enough energy to maintain our current level of modern civilisation". Which correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's what you are suggesting will happen to us within the next 200 years?
