Their representation of economic engagement is constrained by the conception of a restricted economy, the resolution itself defends an economic rationality that presupposes a utilitarian calculus and only allows for a restricted sense of how we view economics. We as the negative instead prefer a general economics that doesn’t obfuscate structural violence in favor of high magnitude impacts that threaten survival.
Human and Cilliers 13 (Oliver Human, Professor of Philosophy at University of Stellenbosch, Paul Cilliers, Professor of Complexity and Philoshophy at the University of Stellenbosch and PhD in philosophy at Cambridge, Towards an Economy of Complexity: Derrida, Morin and Bataille, pgs 34-35, 8-1-13, anuss)
? The notion of ‘play’ is crucial to this understanding.

Dependence on scarce resources causes civilization collapse and a return to feudalism

We can argue, then, that solar energy is indeed always produced, always in excess 

Status quo dependence on things like fossil fuel production turns life into a standing reserve – energy is wasted under the sign of efficiency making modern warfare and absolute destruction possible
Stoekl, 7

The answer, I think, is to be found in the nature of the consumption itself.

The creation of a utopian ideal causes ascetic resentment against the real world and debate – we must embrace a Dionysian debate.
Turanli, 03 (The Journal of Nietzsche Studies 26 (2003) 55-63, Nietzsche and the Later Wittgenstein: An Offense to the Quest for Another World, Aydan Turanli, Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Istanbul Technical University).
The craving for absolutely general specifications results in doing metaphysics

You are only an explosion of energy – spend it in glory.
Stoekl, 7
(Allan Stoekl is a Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Pennsylvania State University.  “Bataille’s Peak: Energy, Religion, and Postsustainability,” pg. 189-191) Henge
Expenditure without return” is a floating concept, defined in opposition to the restrained economy whose possibility it opens but which it defies.

Sacrifice is an act of meaningless and infinite expenditure that forms a connection between the self and death
Stoekl, 7

 Bataille’s energy is inseparable from that which powers cars and raises elevators, but it is different as well.

Their ascription of greater structural meaning to the insufferable pain of others are the attempts of bad conscience to internalize and disavow the tragic pain of existence
