Cory, very cool story with some brilliant observations, thanks for posting.

Does it occur to you that nature does the same with energy?

She is the grand authority, with the ultimate power to commit more atrocity than any government or bunch of bilionaires.

Energy is her currency, the only issuer and enforcer of it is the sun. We have to use it, or burn.

We should recognise that is our ultimatum from nature.

Everything we do should fit into that general rule, otherwise we are breaking the rule, and we face the consequences.

Using energy correctly means we have to make our money align with it.

The energy is delivered to us for free, and we are putting now tens of GigaJoules of it per second into use in every developed country.

But still we don't issue money on it, only on debt, which are in effect promises to do the work of extraction. But the raw energy of nature is donated, requiring no work of extraction per joule to receive it.

So money issued as debt can't represent that raw energy.

The only way it can be represented by money (Which is the only thing we have capable of representing it), is by issue of money for free to all people.
