I just read this article which suggested that we are on course for civilizational collapse following the projections of the 1972 “Limits to Growth” model. https://thehonestsorcerer.medium.com/2025-a-civilizational-tipping-point-da84d11a0e35 I agree that we may collapse but it will not be as severe as LTG suggests because LTG does not recognize the fundamental fact that economies run on energy. LTG lumps fuels and materials together in a single category, “Resources”. With the eventual decline of fossil fuels, Resources declines, causing a collapse. But we are starting to transition from fossil to nuclear fuels and gain an immense new energy source that will allow us to mitigate collapse.
