A bit of a bait and switch. The article boils down to "raising GDP slightly at the expense of the poor is bad". Something that's not anti-growth, but pretty much conventional wisdom for anyone who actually pays attention to policy.

Hot take, but (sustainably) having more resources is still good, so yeah, we should keep building solar farms and funding startups.
