The longer-range future holds many technological solutions-some as yet undreamed of-that will make fossil fuels obsolete, cost virtually nothing, create no pollutive side effects, and thus generate even greater prosperity than we have seen. Is this a Utopia, a new Eden? No, but it will only happen for a human race that doesn't give up. The solution to any problem that exists lies in technology, and the driver of technological advance is economic growth. The enviro-whackos are willing to allow a few humans to survive as a curiosity, but they must head back to the jungles and caves if they are to be permitted that survival. If we cannot defeat the Luddites, the anti-human environmental radicals, and the anti-capitalists in our own era, we condemn future eras to be far, far less than they can become, and we thus fail in our primary natural obligation. A clergyman could probably put that in far more eloquent terms. Perhaps the vision of the 21st Century American renaissance will come from the traditional religions of Western Civilization. Hold your breath if it comes from somewhere else...
