    They’re mixing the two to attempt to make a point. “Post-scarcity” is an economic concept, and I’ve never heard that term used in physics.

      It’s two separate statements. We don’t live in a post scarcity world. Power grids have physical limitations regarding power in and power out.

      ah yes the physics concept of “post scarcity”

      Power plant operators are known to have dreaded this inevitability. There will be no more electrons.
