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..
