Exponential growth can't go on forever (according to our current understanding of physics anyway), but we're a long way away from the cap. Plenty of resources in the solar system, after all. I'm not unconcerned that our resources can only grow as fast as our lightcone, but I don't lose much sleep either.

Eh, we're a hardy weed. Barring a threat like none we've seen thus far, we'll get there.
