TNR does whack job on environmentalism

I stopped reading the Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger antienvironmental screed disguised as a call for a new environmentalism when I got to this sentence:

Given this, the challenge we face as a species is to roughly double global energy production by mid-century while simultaneously cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half worldwide (and about 80 percent in the United States), so that we can avoid the worst consequences of climate change.

How could such a massive undertaking be achieved? Not, as environmental leaders insist, by limiting human power but rather by unleashing it. (Emphasis in original,)

What a ludicrous straw man, setting up the idea that most environmentalists are some sort of antitechnological Luddites.
