The really interesting thing about this issue is that we (the population of the planet) have been here before and we seem to reach this same or similar crossroads every once in a while. Wood was once the primary source of fuel and that was quite limited at one point in history. Coal was once the king of all energy and it was suffocating big cities. Whale oil had its moment, though brief, and it threatened the whale population. All of these things have something in common; they are not inexhaustible and they are not without downsides to their use.
Why is it so?
