Well, it doesn't have to be finite. Imagine if the Chinese get around to generating electricity from hydrogen fusion, we'll all have "infinite" energy



The limit is very high. Every kW generated by hydrogen fusion is a kW that, by the laws of physics, will eventually be dissipated. Enough exponential growth fusing hydrogen on this planet and the earth would quite literally become a mini sun. That is the theoretical limit referred too.
