Dont fret, soon enough we’ll learn that we already have nano-nukes within the body getting switched-on via microwave gigs. these little reactors can party hard, and but the only pull the plug, turn it off-option to date seems to be obliteration. These humanoids will eventually serve as gladiators to battle pure bots as entertainment for Android the impotent who might rule over everything caught in its net
on the other hand,
Thomas Pedersen’s premis is that “more energy leads to higher GDP, which leads to better society”. That guy needs to read “The Lorax” (Dr Suess). and go on an extended camping trek, and do a week under the waterfall therapy, and try to explain to an elder aunty with sass, how his efforts are part of the clean-up.
The big obvious immediately feasible solution to the human electricity demand problem,, is to use less.
Its so easy to turn-off lights and everything else when not being used, cycle fridge access to power (theyre probably the biggest domestic users of, whaddya call it? lectricity? We’re so addicted to using it and we dont even know what it is. eventually we may channel the subtle plasma that surrounds us and from which, according to plasma physicists, all matter manifests (spoiler: we already do, thats the basis of chi kung)
Here’s a review of a good read describing what many/most plasma scientists are saying:

Butch was one of these characters you rarely meet, but when you do it comes with the intuition of having met a savant of some sort. We were building a steel boat. He’d appear on site occasionally and rave on about metallurgy, stuff over our heads but useful to know. I checked his claims a few times, he was always spot on. so he earned our respect as a smart and practical guy. Once he said: “now see here, if you take the magnetism in this acre of land and condense it down to the size of a grapefruit, youd have lotsa potential power right?. Yeah but magnetism is always moving away from itself, so we realized we had to contain it with space. Trouble is once youve got that goin you cant stop it without taking out an entire power grid for 500 miles in every direction. The pump I made for a community in the SW has been running without fuel or being stopped for more than 10 years,,” “gee butch where’d you learn how to do that?” “aw thats just stuff from the govt “star wars” program they developed in the 70’s”
