    All require fossil fuels for construction and maintenance.

    They do now.  They wouldn't if you had heavy equipment that ran on nanoelectrolyte flow batteries.

    I'm not by any means saying this technology can prevent a population crash, that is baked in the cake.  What I am saying is that with a smaller population, this technology could enable a technological society with a fairly high per capita energy consumption to run in the absence of fossil fuels and zero carbon emissions.
