Not sure if energy use is a sufficient criteria to dismiss some technology. This universe progresses by turning low entropy energy into high entropy energy, which the use of energy is doing. So it seems to be closely tied.
Making processes more energy-efficient is only really a good thing as long as it retains its effectiveness.

- sva_ 2y agoI think that things like intelligence and productivity are directly related to an increase in entropy. In this universe, we have a budget of entropy, and when it is used up, we're done for. We have to make our mark before that is the case, or the program that runs our simulation will just terminate with no result. It is a very pseudoscientific believe of mine, I guess.
