I came across this chapter by M. King Hubbert on "Exponential Growth as a Transient Phenomenon in Human History" written in 1976. It lays out clearly how non-renewable resources will run out and human society will go back to a steady state situation. The question is whether it will crash first or level off by transitioning to renewable energy.
The only quibble I have with the article is they he mentions money as something that can grow exponentially for ever. Money can decouple temporarily from the physical world, but for it to be useful there needs to be some coupling. So monetary and economic growth will also end.

The Justice Department’s chief tax official is resigning rather than accept a forced transfer to a new unit,
raising fresh concerns about the Trump administration’s aggressive drive to reshape the agency to fit the president’s agenda.
#David #Hubbert, a career official whose 40 years at the office included serving as interim chief for the entire Biden administration and part of Donald Trump’s prior term,
opted to retire to avoid a reassignment to the sanctuary cities enforcement group. Hubbert’s departure comes on the heels of numerous other veteran career supervisors at the Justice Department receiving orders to choose between quitting or taking reassignments to the upstart immigration team.
It creates a vacancy that current and former federal tax enforcers say they worry could ease the administration’s path to
overhaul a division with immense authority over civil and criminal tax prosecutions. -
