The short of it is, even if we invent a source of unlimited free energy, we are already crossing the boundaries of countless life support systems other than the carbon cycle.
In 2015, we had already crossed 3 planetary boundaries, including biodiversity.

Free energy won't solve that, we'll still need to transform and radically reduce our global material and energy use and destruction of ecosystems. In fact, it might speed it up.
