1.1 Introduction
We live on a planet with finite resources. The developed technologies can rearrange matter to better suit our convenience, and extract energy by reaching farther and farther into the depths of the Earth, the limits to this process have become evident.

The total use of natural resources and energies will have to shrink in future centuries, even when several energy and raw material deposits have not been fully exploited so far.
