Setting a limit on nominal GDP by setting a limit on energy intensity (mJ/USD), using the minimum energy required for human metabolism (approximately 315 mJ), would mean that a limit of 0.1 MJ/USD would mean roughly $30,000 USD per person just to survive. This seems far-fetched. Is this comparison valid?
