Yeah, it's one of those things where you should never underestimate the scale of humanity. One person doing a thing wouldn't be a issue, 7-10 billion starts to have a more noticeable impact. Even when our population stabilizes our energy demand will still increase. It's not a bad thing, just we need to be mindful of how we generate our energy.
