How many technic societies did Greer study to plot this? 
"I walk alone and do no evil, having only a few wishes, just like an elephant in the forest."
"Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone."
"Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone."

Looks about right, assuming we will find an efficient means of extracting other forms of energy.

What does "salvage society" mean?
I make an animated series about time travel and the future of humanity called ExoTemporal Excursion. You'll like it. If you're into that sort of thing. I also draw.

ok that makes sense. I thought it might have meant "salvaging the ruins of modern society for some semblance of a successful life."

Does Greer's Stages of Technic Societies take into account the possibility of obtaining natural resources from outside this planet? If we find a way to make He3 a ready-able energy source, and start mining the moon, doesn't that throw off his timeline?

You are thinking three-dimensionally, unlike the pessimists who think in two.
