640: Mark Mills, part 2: Low cost, high availability energy creates wealth

About this episode

Mark and I share more highly researched, thoughtful conversation on human welfare and the environment. We see things differently, but I consider our conversations the type we should have more of.

This session we cover

  • The book Limits to Growth as well as the concepts underlying limits to growth
  • Earth's carrying capacity
  • How much wealth is consumed by food and fuel, now and historically, and how much it's dropped
  • How the low cost and high availability of energy has allowed us to devote more money for other things, inventions, and life improvements
  • What is pollution?

and plenty more.
