My wife and I are older millennials, born in the 80s. I’m morbidly obese and she’s an alcoholic and a smoker. We’re doing our part.

Yeah except the Dyson sphere ain’t happenin’. It’s science fiction. We’ll reach some hard, physical limits to growth long, long before anything like that could even be possible. When we do reach the limits to growth, well…

Coal currently accounts for half of China’s energy production, down from three-quarters in 2016.

So, coal has gone down as a percentage of China’s overall energy production, but it’s gone up in absolute terms. Why? Growth.

If China’s economy had stayed the same size since 2016, they’d be well on their way to phasing out coal, with all the renewable capacity they’ve built over the last decade. But, that’s just not the nature of infinite growth. Infinite growth requires infinite energy. Eventually, you’ll need all the energy. Like, all the energy on Earth. But if you want to continue growing from there, even all the energy on Earth, renewable or otherwise, won’t be enough.
