Energy isn't just wildly abundant, though: it's also *continuously replenished*. For most of human history, we've treated energy as scarce, eking out marginal gains in energy efficiency - even as we treated *materials* as disposable, using them once and consigning them to a midden or a landfill. That's completely backwards. We get a fresh shipment of energy every time the sun (or the moon) comes up over the horizon.
