Interesting article, I like the way you think about everything connected in chains, thanks for posting.
I would be interested to know your thoughts on this: The UK currently has 13.5GW of installed solar energy capacity.
Similarly, all countries now have multiple GW of solar energy capacity.
If only a fifth of this actually supplies power which is put to use, then we might say a minimum of 2GW of actual Joules of energy from the sun are entering the UK economy, one way or another
Since those Joules of energy are actual physical product, adding to the economic capital stock of all physical product, donated by the sun, to us for free, with no labor of extraction, why is there no official recognition of this, by issue of money on this product, per the ideals of Austrian Economics?
In truth that accumulating donated physical wealth is entering the economy, just by being put to use. it is far more valuable than any kind of money, and this actually explains why the value of money is slipping (Inflation), because money is not being issued reflecting that valuable product being put to use, violating the principle of Austrian Economics.
So it is not true to claim that there is no product upon which money should be issued, or to lament "Where will the money come from?".
Why shouldn't all people receive a stipend for their share of that donated valuable product, which we all could put to use further scaling up the solar energy capacity in all places, on our windows, roofs, gardens, conservatories, wherever possible, because by that, we would increase the received product, and thus the stipend even further, assuring our financial security, the security of our domestic power, the security of our environment from further damage, and the security of our country against being exploited by others for the supply of our energy, and by all of that, assuring the safety of the value of our currency?
This has to happen one way or another, becasue the sun is the only actual source of energy, nature is forcing us to use it, the earlier we do it, the more likely we will be to have a head start on neighboring countries deciding to do it first, because after one starts to do, all others will have to chase in competition to maintain the value of their currencies relative to the first mover.
Why do we never even hear this talked about?
