What we need is energy — much, much more of it.

The degrowther nonsense has really screwed us up. We should be going so hard on fusion and other research that 60% of our NSF budget should be pointed that direction. “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is mostly clownish, I am now realizing (“recycle” is good for some things).

That said, the author’s (Hall’s) politics are loopy and wrong. But he is right about energy use and what we should be attempting.
