Personality 1: Not enough energy critic

The energy required for digital technology has caused concerns from the beginning and future projections of energy consumptions have force many to suggest aborting digital technology development. For example, a opponent has stated; "It's a mistake to extrapolate exponential trends indefinitely, since they inevitably run out of resources to maintain the exponential growth. Moreover, we won't have enough energy to power the extraordinarily dense computational platforms forecast, and even if we did they would be as hot as the sun."
Can you identify the critic that made this statement?
Do you accept this energy limit perspective?
