I like your general message here, but it could be a lot stronger, if you took into account the power of domestic and community solar, which is not counted by grid energy companies, so is grossly undervalued, to the point that this is now causing inflation, and this can only get worse, as solar necessarily continues to scale up.

Solar product, is labor-free product added to Earth in the form of Joules from ths sun put to use in any way, they could be converted to hydrogen fuel, or even further to food (See "Solein"), or just heat someone's radiator, the effect on economy is the same as product created by manufacturing, or by energy extraction, but no money is issued on it, because it is labor free, and money issued as debt can only represent promises to do labor, not promises to receive for nothing.

The question we should be asking, is how to install solar in every community, rather than in centralised solar farms owned by grid energy companies.

They are probably panicking already, realising that they are losing business steadily to domestic and community solar.

At some time, the product will have to be monetised, and that is when the revolution starts, I would say, because it involves a lot of free money, that people will use to put in their own solar facilities in all communities, finishing the job of removing most business from grids.

Solar energy monetised reverses a lot of the old rules of money. No longer can it raise interest rates languishing in accounts, and no longer can it be wielded as capital, to enslave folk to "Bullshit jobs", (David Graeber), and no longer does it go down in value when issued as stimulus, now it goes up, because issuing it enables it to convey energy in the same way as the nutrients in a plant convey energy within the plant to Earth and all things needed it, in response to photons received on the leaves.

This is nature now forcing our hand, by way of inflation, to honestly reflect the solar energy received and put to use, the only way it can be, by issue of free stimulus.

In UK, the effect of solar has been most profound, we can see it in the data from the grid, and estimate the value from it.

If you are interested to know how to do that, an example applied to the current UK economic "Black hole", is here:
