- Studies in Everyday Life: Exponential Economist Meets Finite Physicist: My Comments on the Limits to Growth
This is my response to the recent post by UCSD physicist Tom Murphy, in which he questions an economist about the physical limits of energy consumption and its implications for economic growth. Following Murphy, I’ll respond in four acts.

That article on exponential growth was amusing, mainly because the author doesn’t get the point that energy consumption will have to level off. But then I first heard this point made by Al Bartlett (U of Colorado) over three decades ago. The original article by the physicist was quite good.
[That the graph suggests energy use might have already started to level off in the US is rather interesting and thought provoking.]
