If these jokers ever start deliberately blowing up each others' satellites, we could end up in a situation where space becomes inaccessible.

We don't know who struck first, us or them, but we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.

Nope, everyone knows that the best source of power is humans.

Mobius even admits like two lines later that the machines even have fusion power, and then no one ever talks about that ever again. The whole movie makes no real sense when you think about it.

Well for starters they wanted to use us for computing power not energy. But it didn't test well because your average movie goer didn't understand.

Ooh, reference to the Matrix.
