"Do the proper research, the nuclear option is much less promising as the proponents claim" I agree that Nuclear Tech today has problems, but we haven't made real investments in 50 years. Do you realize how far airline, rail, and road safety has come in that time? I firmly believe that if we put as much $$$ into Nuclear - as we have in Solar - that we'd be way past the safety problems. Also - there is absolutely no physical limit to 'growth'. Yes - commodities are limited and so is space. But we are making better use of both at an exponential level. As some things become scarce, the prices rises, we figure out how to better make use of them. My friend: Plastic. Plastic did not exist 100 years ago. It was not 'on the horizon'. Nobody was even dreaming of it. But imagine life without plastic. We couldn't make a thing without it! So 'plastic'. A single, new, and unforeseen innovation that fundamentally changed everything. And that's only one of many innovations of that era. What is the next 'plastic'? Will we be able to simply forge metals or other minerals as we need them in a fusion reactor? If fusion ever works - this is within reach. Fusion means not only cheap energy, put possibly the ability to make many elements on the periodic table like Star Trek. Again - the possibilities are unlimited. As long as we don't wipe ourselves out, this will go on forever. That said - we measure 'growth' in dollars, and we don't measure dollars in anything :). I suppose you could make the comparative value argument for real growth, and that it depends on 'happiness' or some sort of intangible. At least in classical economic terms - growth will go on ad nauseum.
