the problem isn't our energy sources, obviously there are ways to create enormous amounts of energy "sustainably" (this is why Lovelock advocates for nuclear) but there are plenty of other limits, physically or socially, which can and most likely will create a collapse. Organisms are all limited on their growth by the scarcest resource, and there is no way for a system of infinite growth to be able to answer this in the amount of time before mass starvation would break out due to economic collapse. Something as simple as say an even bigger bee colony die-off, how quickly could agriculture respond to maintain their level of production? It could easily cause the sector to collapse, and most likely the rest of the economy and social order if its severe enough. Capitalism tries its hardest for sustainability but how quickly can it act on even bigger hits?
