All true John, guilty as charged, this is all part of what we should consider is the energy deficit that we have with Earth.
But notice how use of hydrogen, which we created ourselves from solar, automatically reverses some of the things we see were pollution, like carbon dioxide etc, those things are "eaten up", just as an unexpected side effect of widespread use of hydrogen, as is the very fundamental rise of temperature, the fundamental effect on the temperature thermodynamics is reversal, the more solar energy we put to use, the less temperature is generated, it is the exact opposite of the effect of using any kind of energy extracted from Earth.
Remember the capability to produce food from hydrogen also removes some of the load of humanity from the conventional food chain, and we know those things recover when we remove our load, we saw it happen with fish stocks during covid lockdowns, for example.
I suspect that when we put a positive mindset towards developing things from hydrogen, we will soon find alternative materials science springing up, where use of those materials will automatically have effects beneficial to the environment.
I think we have not yet realised that we are actually much needed by nature in adult species mode, opposite to what we were, fuelled by negative energy.
Nuture wouldn't do very well without plants. How do we know that we just haven't seen the real beneficial human function yet? Time will tell I guess, but personally I feel very lucky to be alive to see this incredible transition underway. It is something of no less than biblical significance, I think.
