Ok -- I see a less total destruction future then you do.
How do you really know we are loosing the race against resources?
You know only what you are supposed to know.

I know this because of Peak Oil.
I know this because i have read Limits To Growth.
I know this because of IEA "Oil Market Report OMR". They monitor the markets and the reserves.
I know this because of AE Alternative energy. If you read: pay attention to what resources that are needed. Then think about how they harvested the resources and transport it. "By machinery powered by fossil fuel".
You can not read just one of these topics and expect them to say that we are all screwed. You have to read everything and sum it all up. Than you will see that we are loosing the race.

Maybe we are not told everything.

If you noticed the news a few days ago, we were told that Libya was ready to export oil in a few days. Doesn't that make you think how bloody important that oil is?

Yes - exactly. As I said - - - we have no idea what's going on in the black government.
I'd guess in advancements (all areas) they are at least 50 years ahead of anything we know about.
Have you seen the solar energy system that uses melted salt?

I still contend for this to work, we'd have to lose completely the EGO, The "I". Because it is part of our make-up I don't see anything but destruction happening. The Ego is one of our mental hurdles because without it we don't acheive anything and with it, we are centered on ourselves, and really nothing else if given any amount of power the Ego does not shrink but in fact becomes more prevalent, it's human nature.
Type 0.1: Fluid groups of hominids living in Africa. Technology consists of primitive stone tools. Intra-group conflicts are resolved through dominance hierarchy, and between-group violence is common. Type 0.2: Bands of roaming hunter-gatherers that form kinship groups, with a mostly horizontal political system and egalitarian economy.
Type 0.3: Tribes of individuals linked through kinship but with a more settled and agrarian lifestyle. The beginnings of a political hierarchy and a primitive economic division of labor.
Type 0.4: Chiefdoms consisting of a coalition of tribes into a single hierarchical political unit with a dominant leader at the top, and with the beginnings of significant economic inequalities and a division of labor in which lower-class members produce food and other products consumed by non-producing upper-class members.
Type 0.5: The state as a political coalition with jurisdiction over a well-defined geographical territory and its corresponding inhabitants, with a mercantile economy that seeks a favorable balance of trade in a win-lose game against other states.
Type 0.6: Empires extend their control over peoples who are not culturally, ethnically or geographically within their normal jurisdiction, with a goal of economic dominance over rival empires.
Type 0.7: Democracies that divide power over several institutions, which are run by elected officials voted for by some citizens. The beginnings of a market economy.
Type 0.8: Liberal democracies that give the vote to all citizens. Markets that begin to embrace a nonzero, win-win economic game through free trade with other states.
Type 0.9: Democratic capitalism, the blending of liberal democracy and free markets, now spreading across the globe through democratic movements in developing nations and broad trading blocs such as the European Union.
Type 1.0: Globalism that includes worldwide wireless Internet access, with all knowledge digitized and available to everyone. A completely global economy with free markets in which anyone can trade with anyone else without interference from states or governments. A planet where all states are democracies in which everyone has the franchise.
