Firstly you folks (the maybe unwitting, but committed planet destroyers!) claim Ai and cryptocurrency uses massive energy, which you assume is extracted from planet, then when it's shown that this energy use is not harmful but beneficial as it has already migrated by necessity to solar money-fuel tree architecture, you then claim solar can't produce enough power to even bootstrap itself to get to manufacturing all by solar, which is it to be? It can't be both massive energy planet destroying energy, yet not enough energy to even power itself. As the power of solar in economy is still relentlessly increasing, this argument is going to keep getting weaker and weaker, and besides, the solar Ai even computes the results of a perfectly fine totally solar hydrogen economy, it all checks out from every angle, there is literally nothing can compete with it, it's where we have to go ssoner or later, preferably before too much more loss of value from money, and too much more loss of life, and too much more damage done to the planet.

As for resources available for panels, its nothing compared with resources we historically made available for conventional extracted energy infrastructure, or even for car manufacture. Look at the lithium it will save, for example, when we see we can do most things needing "Big Lithium" by hydrogen.
