Oil/LNG not likely to be exhausted in our lifetime, nor do we seem to have the global political willpower to do enough about climate change or perturb capital. Furthermore, the article talks about a lack of VC finding making it unlikely to be viable in the mean time. This is the basis of the sardonic statement in agreement with your comment but also intending to cast a political light on the concern from my end.

    Oil/LNG not likely to be exhausted in our lifetime,

    Indeed not, but that EROEI is going towards 1, and maybe even <1. That's not the same type of civilization any more. One sends people to play golf on the Moon to impress the neighbors.

    The other densifies its cities in desperation hoping the food doesn't run out.
