No. It’s not complicated math. The total solar radiation is on the order of 1361

No. It’s not complicated math.
The total solar radiation is on the order of 1361 watts per square meter. If we subtract human energy consumption we are already .8 watts per square meter out of balance (this is the best number I can find).
Quality of life is a mesure of energy capture per person.
Humans never lose their desire for novelty stimulation.
Humans never lose their demand for status accumulation.
Growth is a mesure of the conversion of energy per capital.

The planet needs under 4B and preferably only 1B people. And that’s not going to happen.

It is unlikely we will find a substitute for nuclear power. There is not enough nuclear fuel any more than there is petroleum. The sun is profoundly powerful but it doesn’t shine where peopel are. And we have no way of storing it or transporting it. If there is radioactive material in the asteroid belt that’s the only other cheap souce we know of. And it’sthe only thing once refined worth the energy to retrieve.
