This analogy doesn't really stand. The reason we haven't run out of oil and gas as predicted since the '70s because this panic drove energy prices up. The price rise allowed companies to figure our how to dig further, or find other ways to extract valuable resources. The price increase also forced other companies to figure out how these resources could be used more efficiently. We don't have infinite resources, but we are really creative on how to find alternatives to solve a problem.

You talk about alternatives yet none of your examples are of alternative solutions
