"Page not found" was the only result I got. Tried twice.

Sorry I posted "up", but my stupid Yahoo email editor would not add a line (or
lines) below your comments, at least not without "exploding" your cite to
include the picture, etc. Couldn't figure out how to fix that, except by
commenting "up".
In the last week or so, I saw a news item about a new form of carbon, which
seems to allow a doubling of energy density in Lithium ion batteries, yet being
much safer.

Anybody who uses cell phones, or electric cars, should rejoice.
Myself, I've been following for a few years "magnesium ion batteries", google
'magnesium ion battery',

As automation displaces the great majority of workers, labor (not industrial)
productivity will zoom past zero.
As for energy, battery, and other temporary energy storage, will surely improve
though increases in density could become a major saftey factor as they equal or
exceed liquid fuel (perhaps even high explosives). Preventing such batteries
and ultra-ultra-capacitors from sudden discharge is still a relatively unsolved
issue.

This article sure sounds foolish. As I see it, the main driver in the
increase in "growth" (other than population) is productivity. Productivity
tends to be driven by gradual adoptions of automation, which has been a major
factor for 50+ years, and actually far larger. Automation isn't going away,
and will only increase in effectiveness for decades
Energy is a factor, but society is well on its way to the widespread adoption
of solar and wind energy. Solar is useful in most locations, and wind will
eventually be useable just about everywhere, 24 hours per day, with the use of
low-resistance materials to conduct that energy, for example metallic carbon
nanotubes. (MCNTs).
