Two things that can both be true: 1. The world is getting better, by most metrics of human well-being 2. The risk of a major catastrophe is going up over time Yet I often see ppl try to dismiss 2 by saying "The doomsayers are wrong, things are getting better, [argument for 1]"
Energy is solved. We can produce almost unlimited amounts of electrical energy at present prices or below now.

So are you predicting that as the prices of fossil fuels rise, the energy sector doesn't respond as it historically has, and just lets itself go out of business? We don't lower consumption? We don't make the effort to convert the oceans of energy out there for our use?

Not at all. Energy will become cheaper due to renewables. Energy is probably not our problem.
