Energy is not a stock, it's a flow. Incoming sun is a high fraction
of a horsepower per square yard. Uranium and geothermal are both
there for the next few billion years. In due course we shall no doubt
tap the solar wind. In the meantime, we've got enough gas, oil, coal
and peat to last us a few hundred years at an American scale of
consumption, unlikely though that scale is to become general.
Not a problem.
