It is possible to grow economically within a constrained energy budget, as the lever metaphor suggests. With efficiency, it is even possible to double the population… But I find it very hard to believe in a continued economic growth simultaneously with a declining energy budget, especially when the economic aspect is facing a cliff of massive debt. The only way out is good ole industrialism on a massive scale in such a scientific way to keep cooking dinner and not spoil the garden.
