Eh, there's a lot of enthusiasm for all those battery threads.
I think there's really two factors going on.
1) Everything has trade-offs and a lot of the economic growth comes with a trade-off they don't like. The top comment in this thread isn't even "screw economics", it's "I wish they built them where the wind power was". What does the N+1 data center even get us as a society while a rocket to the moon is literal science fiction.
2) Some of the "economic growth" is really just stagnation at a cheaper price. Firing ~10% of your workforce because AI-tooling (allegedly) lets you produce the same amount with less people isn't growth.
