Im trying to make an intelligent claim without just like i dont know. Is endless economic growth possible? Im a little pessimistic that it can go on forever. then i am optimistic on it also i just dont know. Right now though economic growth is dependent on oil, natural gas, and coal and that is what creates money. Im just a little worried when demand begins to outstrip supply in a year or so what is gonna be used to make up for it? Right now with us being dependent on ever increasing supplies of natural gas oil and coal for our economy to grow what happens when there is no more spare supply? what will fuel growth then? No im not one of those doomers that think its gonna be the end of us but i do believe we may head into some real rough times for the next 5-50 years with no other energy resources available or even in production right now at any meaningful level. then of course the human ingenuity always amazes me in the way we always seem to come out of the most hopeless situations even when its the mess we create ourselves.
