I guess I am not subscribing to that theory. Maybe I still don't understand the full definition of it. Suppose a comet hits the earth, and the sunlight is blocked. Will we have enough energy then ?
Aside from that, yea I guess there will always be enough energy, but for whom, and under what circumstances ?
Could be that in the absense of some new technology or other-worldly help, the answer will be in scaling back to pre-industrial energy consumption levels.
The future is too unknown to make such a statement IMO.
