| Throughput of materials and energy is the central problem Question1 #361524 The linear Mine-Manufacture-use-dispose economic model (or in the case of carbon fuels, Mine-Burn-Pollute) is unsustainable at present levels, let alone on a continuous-growth model.

Note that growth in understanding, education, art and science is possible and desirable. |
