Making the case (and sounding like an oil exec) that we need to be consuming more energy.

I agree: access to energy is vital to our future, but if we’re boosting efficiencies and being less wasteful that’s going to have an effect. So we can expect to see a decline in total energy consumed over time, even though we’re doing more with it!

This is a load of rubbish, even by Quillette's standards.

Do they not know, or do they not care that this doesn't really make any sense?
