[QUOTE="quad, post: 16633338, member: 17952"] Fossil fuels will run out though or become too expensive to extract. Not if but when. It is a finite resource. Earth / Humanity needs to become a Type 1 level Civilization. Right now it is apparently at about 0.7 Type I Technological level of a civilization that is "close to the level presently attained on Earth, with energy consumption at ≈4×1019 [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erg']erg[/URL]/sec" (4×1012 watts).[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale#cite_note-Kard_TransInfoCiv-1'][1][/URL] Currently, the civilization of Type I is usually defined as one that can harness all the energy that falls on a planet from its parent star (for Earth–Sun system, this value is close to 1.74×1017 watts), which is about four [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude']orders of magnitude[/URL] higher than the amount presently attained on Earth, with energy consumption at ≈2×1013 watts.
