This particular straw physicist seems to suffer greatly from the lack of imagination and a bunch of internal inconsistencies. For example, 400 years at 10x per century growth corresponds to 10000 the current energy consumption, still just 25% of the power provided by the sun, all of which is currently beamed back into space without boiling any oceans along the way.

Well, they rule out a lot of material at the beginning by agreeing to not be ‘space cadets’.
