    How does “companies finding better ways to use said resouces more efficiently” not address your problem? Diesel (with all it’s flaws) was a reaction to use oil more efficiently. Hibrid cars were a reaction to pollute less. Electric cars the same. I’m pretty sure atomic cars will be a thing in my lifetime. All these are attempts to use scarce resources more efficiently. Whichever solves the issue the best will be adopted by everyone.

      Efficiency is good, but as long as things don’t have 100% efficiency (which is impossible for everything besides heaters) it is still a question of limited resources.

      Cars of any kind are not sustainable for every person to own and use, no matter what kind of energy source is used. This applies to a lot of areas. The wrong things get deliberately called the problem, so when companies fix these problems people are happy to buy the new products. But the new products are still part of the real problem. Don’t defend companies

          The real problem is pride and greed. The wish for unlimited gains in an limited universe. But to be less abstract and more specific, it depends on the topic. I described a template, not a specific problem. Not every problem is easy to spot, but in transportation for example it is personal transportation via cars.
