This sounds as scratching the bottom of the barrel, with an enormous
investment with dubious environmental and energetic returns.

My personal bets are on nuclear fusion, space-based solar energy, and
deep geotermy.

I do not see any other energy sources having the potential to allow
for the kind of exponential growth in energy consumption that I wish
for.
