Economics

GDP/capita in the US would be $100-200k instead of $65k if we had stayed on the Adams curve

we should be using more energy, not less

there's no such thing as a rich country that consumes little energy

Yes! I think many have lost the plot and are distracted by re-arranging deck chairs instead of things that really matter

We should 💯 focus on making energy cheaper and producing more energy! From nuclear to coal. We should make more energy!

Yes, and we have already hit peak oil production. There are as yet no viable alternatives (high density, high transportability) to hydrocarbons. The faster we burn the faster the "Seneca Cliff" approaches. This is a systemic problem but there seems no genuine effort to invest in real alternatives to hydrocarbons.

And we'd be even more dead to climate chaos than we're looking now, which is pretty grim. We have major emissions and supply problems to solve first before we step up to the next era of energy consumption increases. I hope we do figure it out in time!
