If you click on the diagram the link will take you to a thread at TOD (The Oil Drum), which is somewhat critical of Duncan and his Olduvai Theory. Highly recommended.

Wouldn’t be as effective if the right side of the curve had all the same things (lightbulb, computer, etc.) drawing off of near-endless supplies of Uranium.

Because, you know, and you might as well get used to it, that is what is going to happen.

I agree that it could happen, but unlike you I don’t know what is going to happen. You are right to think about nuclear options—not that there are near-endless supplies of uranium. But breeders can use a cycle that starts with thorium—search on “molten salt breeder” to read about it.

The one aspect TOD never considers is IQ depletion! If we are in for an oil per capita squeeze and a de-electrification of our way of life the reservoir of technological creativity and innovation of our forefathers may not be in adequate supply now to confront it. For sure, though, the Third World doesn’t do technological creativity and innovation, and the Third Worlders coming to the West are highly likely to be a drag factor. If, as the TOD poster submits, population management will be one method of seeing our way through, it has to begin with repatriation.
