All this back and forth about energy. Wars fought and blood and treasure lost over energy. In the end, we run out of it, or poison ourselves out of existance. Then we revert back to camp fires, tribes, and subsistence survival, until we do it all over again in a few hundred generations.

Eat your neighbors, until there are none, burn your worthless houses to heat yourself and cook, since they can't be heated or cooled with the decline of the grid and it's support.
