Energy

Energy, here on earth, is apparently finite.  We power things with oil and natural gas which is a finite resource held within the bounds of the sphere that we live on.  In the world of the future though, we anticipate getting this energy from the sun, a large glowing sphere nearby.  You could imagine though that solar energy is also finite in the sense that the earth has a finite surface area with which to capture the solar energy.  Could it be in the future that our resource demands are so great that we would admonish people who were wasting solar energy?  Why isn't that square meter being used to capture solar energy or being used to power the photosynthesis for plant xyz?  What a waste, such a shame!
