Also resource total isn't resource density. we're basically at carrying capacity in tens of different ways.
Whatever we do on jupiter is irrelevant. Using more than about 100kW/person on earth will cook it even if it comes from thermodynamically limited 85% efficient solar panels due to albedo increase. Making your exponentially increasing pile of garbage in the asteroid belt and importing it doesn't work either because just getting it down will produce heat and NOx.

- Schroedingersat 4y agoYes, sorry
