We are sitting on 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg ball of matter. We have a giant nuclear furnace in the centre of the solar system that's providing us with energy.

The world has effectively infinite resources, getting more is usually just a matter of figuring out better extraction techniques or using better energy.
