Well, Bruce, human history can be summed up as the harnessing of greater and greater concentrations of energy. We do know how to handle the messes. It's a pity we're not actually permitting ourselves to do so yet.
Yes, high energy fluxes are inimical to biological processes, as anyone who has mistakenly sat on a red hot stove can tell you. This does not in itself make it either a bad or a senseless thing.
