There will always be enough resources around, I feel, that clever folks will be able to make D.I.Y. electricity from salvaged materials etc for what is really needed.
It is not sustainable that we live with so much electricity anyway.
The nuclear reactor thing sounds pretty scary.
I think oil running out / becoming prohibitively expensive is the more urgent issue, as demonstrated by NR's list of oil-based products above.
In fact I would like to see a thread discussing wood- or other material-based alternatives to every product in that list -how many of those things can we replace ourselves?
