Recently a debate has arisen here at ETH Zurich centering on the question whether the envisaged 2000 Watt Society is inevitable. Why should not we be allowed to use more energy? Would not it be more important to limit greenhouse gas emissions? In this lecture, we shall analyze whether the 2000 Watt Society is at all sustainable, and if so, what it will take to keep energy supply at that level after the end of ample and cheap fossil fuels.
