There is literally limitless energy available to us. But as long as the people in charge benefit from people believing the supply is limited, people will be made to believe the supply is limited.

    Well, not "literally", since the sun will one day stop working (it will take a while, though) plus even it is not a limitless source of energy.

    But yeah, in practice at the moment given the amount of energy our society consumes is there is limitless energy available to us.

    Just not "literally" 🤪

    There literally was limitless energy available to the literal ancient Egyptians, as well as literally 19th century literal London.

    Why did it take fossil energy to literally reach our present state?

    That limitless energy is presumably also literally available to you, why aren't you literally using it now and why are you limited?

    I do, and they did.

    Wind, hydro and solar were the only sources of energy long before somebody decided to revolutionize the industry using coal and oil. They also burned wood though, but even that is more sustainable than fossil fuels.
