key factors
These key factors are of economic growth
substitution between energy and other inputs within an existing technology technological change shifts in the composition of the energy input shifts in the composition of economic output.

Running Out Eventually,all non renewable energy resources will be depleted; the name itself admits this inevitability. When this happens, all technologies still running on these fuels will become obsolete, and many people may suffer in their absence. We must turn to other forms of energy production: wind, solar, and geothermal power sources, which can be used indefinitely. With these alternatives, the process of technology conversion should begin sooner rather than later. It would be better to stop needing fossil fuels before they have completely disappeared.
Non-renewable resources are energy sources that we use and consume faster then nature produces them. Fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, take centuries to form naturally, and crude oil takes millions of years to form. These resources are not infinite and over time, most experts believe they will cease to exist. Here are some scary facts regarding non-renewable energy according to The Ecologist based on current worldwide consumption rates : The natural gas supply will run out within the next 35 years. Within 70 years the world's current oil reserves will be gone - If the current rate of consumption continues for oil, the supply is predicted to run out within the next 14 years. Not only is the scarcity of these resources a global problem, the resulting pollution of using fossil fuels is as well.
Once people mine these materials, they cannot be replaced at a sustainable rate.
Socioeconomic Aspects
On a long term basis, may be as important as environmental aspects Lack of stable and reliable energy source can cause major social and economic disruptions and even lead to wars. Japan used concerns about oil supplies as an excuse to attack US in WWII.
A growing world population meets the challenge of limited natural resources. How about the future?
