What are you talking about. We use a minuscule amount of the sun's Earth-bound energy to make electricity and have so much cheap fossil fuel that we haven't even started on fusion reactors yet.
- i_am_proteus 8y agoMy conjecture is that "using all of the energy" is not going to be the limit. Perhaps I am using the Kardashev scale too loosely. Unlike previous industrial revolutions, the current revolution in automation has not seen economic growth result from doing more work by unleashing more energy. Economic growth has generally been a result of using existing energy sources more efficiently but also from reducing labor costs.
