How would you transfer the energy from solar panels to earth?

And solar-powered cars run very slow, would have to be made of light weight materials, and couldn't run for very long periods of time. Not to mention, you'd never be able to fly a plane or a large ship with just solar energy.

And taking uranium out of water would be very expensive. Desalinating water already costs an arm and a leg, just imagine having to scour for uranium. One day, though, uranium will run out because it has a production bell curve like everything else.

Civilization will adapt and use alternate energy sources, but the survivors will have a drastically reduced standard of life.
