(or at all). The authors recommend a focus on rapid renewable deployment, and a policy and modelling focus on satisfying energy service demand at lower final energy levels. This advice should be taken seriously by researchers and policy-makers, but it's hard without media echo.
Ok, There's still something I'm not getting. What about... "the profound impact of rapid technological advances in drilling. Fracking unlocked vast sums of oil and natural gas that had been trapped underground. Drilling costs declined dramatically."https://money.cnn.com/2018/09/12/investing/us-oil-production-russia-saudi-arabia/index.html …

Even with the declining costs of oil extraction wrt fracking, we will still have problematic "constraints on the energy available to society?" Btw, I'm trying to understand this paper better so I can explain and champion its findings and implications to others more effectively.

Hi Emily, sorry I'm coming to the discussion a bit late. This paper is about energy, not money. If we have a certain amount of energy to invest, where would you invest it? To me it's a "no-brainer" to go to the place where that energy gives you the highest returns.
