A "No news today" filler type of article

no mention of fusion, which, hopefully should have been cracked by then

Hopefully, or hypefully?


Hopefully.

The oil won't run out, but it'll become damned expensive. Solar, wind
and tide can't cope with our ever growing population. Fission is no
more than a short term fix; it's dirty, and the fuel supply is
ultimately limited.

There are two cases; the population collapses, or we get a better
energy source. I have a nasty feeling it'll be the former, it won't be
by abstinence, and my kids will have a very unpleasant retirement.
