Sure it is.  Take a very simple example, two green building styles, say 
cob and strawbale.  We advance the technology to the point that we can 
make zero-energy homes with either one.  But both straw and cob are 
limited resources.  So, we end up with a mix of strawbale houses and 
cob houses, and which one gets built next depends on the current supply 
of those two resources.  Fuzzy.

This is in fact for the best.

Thank You Kindly,
