MIT-designed project achieves major advance toward fusion energy

Sigh. I really shouldn't have included a quote in my comment and instead only linked to the full text.

That text is exactly an argument against infinite economic growth – and it carries out said argument by looking at energy consumption (which necessarily grows with economic activity).

Yeah I read it. Thats why I said that bit about infinite economic growth. I felt that by saying that exponential heat growth is probably sigmoid I was somehow validating the notion of infinite growth, which I think sometime in an unforeseeable future will just plateau.

Ah, sorry, looks like I misunderstood. :)
