You can't invent around how much energy it takes to get something to space. I'll concede that maybe a space elevator would do the trick, but I'd rather not hang my hopes on science fiction becoming true to make an energy proposal work
Rather than saying that we will find a way to reduce the energy needed, I meant that we'll find a better vehicle with which to bring shit into space. Be it a space elevator, a better space shuttle, reusable rockets and/or better fuel. You can reduce the launch cost without decreasing the energy cost.
I don't know how much you're just playing Devil's Advocate here, but at some point you have to realize you're just spitballing utopian futurist ideas to solve the problems that your real-life ideas are causing

Utopian futurist ideas like making better space travel?
