Blinded by the Light: Techno-Optimism in Overshoot Lovers of technology tend to love quantitative analysis. But when it comes to the accounting of Earth’s biocapacity and our ecological footprint, these same technophiles are often wont to ignore simple arithmetic. While increasingly rigorous and reliable, the “overshoot” accounting they dismiss does include some difficult-to-measure variables. It will always be imperfect. But for many nearsighted techno-optimists, this is beside the point. They argue that modern scientists have engineered such technological marvels that we should only expect more, with increasingly miraculous potential. These evangelists of innovation contend that we need not fret. They say the overshoot solution is “just around the corner,” firmly in the hands of the world’s inventors and engineers. The Alluring Promise of Technology Technological breakthroughs have increased our resource-use efficiency. Over the last half-century, U.S. energy productivity—or economic output per unit of energy—has increased by about 50 percent. In the United States, despite rapidly increasing digital processing demands, innovations had—until the dawn of AI-cryptocurrency grid-busting mania—kept associated energy demand in check. Many societies have figured out ingenious ways to recycle, re-use, and reduce, shrinking the ecological footprint of key production processes. A majority of the world’s steel, for example, is now a product of recycling rather...

Hey Ed, are you green lighting a new North Sea gas field. Did you know we actually need to cut harder & faster as we are falling behind "net zero" commitments and not speeding up carbon production?
