Some of us have being making these same points here on FR for some time now.

I have been making these same arguments here on FR for years. There is a strong undercurrent of technological utopianism here (the idea that some "silver bullet" will be discovered that will eliminate scarcity and change human nature) that is as un-conservative as any other kind of utopianism.

Thanks. If you haven't read the book The Bottomless Well by Huber and Mills, I highly recommend it. Clearest explanation of the world energy situation I have ever seen.
