Increasing the produced energy flux density as an element of the principle of economics.
In exploring the principle of economics another factor of the principle can be recognized, which has a strong influence on the increase of the potential population density of an area. This factor is called energy flux density. This factor is related to the intensity of the energy being produced in an economy. For example, in earlier ages artificial light was produced with candles. It is certainly possible to light a large cathedral with 10,000 candles, in order to make it nice and bright for a service. It is also possible to achieve the same result with ten modern lamps of a 1000 candle-powers each. The end result is identical in the tow cases, but there is a huge difference in the effort that is required to achieve the identical results. The same applies to energy production. It is certainly possible to blanket a country with windmills and solar collectors, and then combine all of their output to create a 200 MW power source. But can you image what enormous effort would be required to create this country wide monstrosity, not to mention the fact that a a larger amount of energy input is required to create the solar cells, than the solar cells give back in their lifetime. Now compare this enormously costly monstrosity to a modern nuclear power plant which requires very little space and can even operate with most of its components put under ground. A modern nuclear power plant provides the highest energy flux density in the world, and even this is only the beginning of a developing trend that is focused on the discovery and the utilization of new physical principles. Through the development of nuclear fusion, for instance, a much higher energy flux density can be achieved than is presently possible with an atomic fission reactor. The point is, the continuing increase of the potential population density on this planet requires a corresponding increase in energy production that can only be achieved with opting for ever higher energy flux densities.
Higher operating temperatures as an element of the principle of economics.
Let me explain what this means. This means that our future energy must be produced by recreating the process that powers the sun, which is a process of hydrogen fusion. The higher temperatures of this process will open doors which are vital for humanity's future development, but which are presently closed. For example, the super-high temperatures of nuclear fusion will allow the molecular separation of rocks, all of which are rich in metallic silicates, into their constituent elements. This means that the new energy resources that are under scientific development right now, provide us access to the virtually unlimited mineral and metallic resources that will be required by humanity to enrich the earth. With these advanced unlimited material resources, food production can be shifted into automated large scale indoor facilities, so that the fields of the world can be redeployed for better uses than growing food.
The infinite potential of man - a vital foundation for the principle of economics.
The point that comes to light, here, which is deeply rooted in the principle of economics, reflects a characteristic that places no limits on human development whatsoever. Everything else that one finds being paraded before the public in the name of sustainable development is utter nonsense, as it is all totally focused on limits. The only sustainable development is that which is anchored in infinity, itself. Any other conservative option is NOT sustainable. It prevents the development of new fields of resources before the old resources become exhausted or outgrown. It is inherent in the principle of economics that no artificial limits are placed on human population density, and that mankind's actual population density increases to some degree with the realized increase in the potential population density on the planet. To meet this requirement is an essential factor of the principle of economics, because the larger the resources are that modern technologies make available to mankind, the more people will be required to create the advanced technologies and the required facilities, and to operate the processes that enrich the whole earth and human life by the same process.
