I don't accept that energy is a limited resource, like all other resources it requires investment. Reduce investment and you get less of that resource. Increase investment and you get more of that resource at a cheaper rate (as mass production kicks in at different levels). Crypto, and any other popular industry; Invest in the cheapest energy available, growing that market while profiting from it. Its OUR job (democratically) to ensure that green energy is the cheapest energy available...

There is really no other way to fix this.

There's a limited amount of fossil fuels available.

There's limited amount of space for solar panels, wind turbines and hydroelectric power plants.

Even if we were to achieve fusion, we'd be limited by e = mc^2, where m is limited within a radius that is reachable without losing energy on transport.

You can't fix a physics problem with market ideology.

If the limit is unreachable except in our imagination, we can think of it as unlimited. At least for the purposes of policy right now.

And i think you are being unfair conflating the current energy shortage with a hard limit that the human race may never reach. The current energy shortage might have been averted if the investment from industries like crypto, was invested in renewables..
