It is not a deeply ingrained habit to analyse the energy in and out of the planet mathematically to show which use of energy is harmful and which is beneficial. Science has never done this because it itself is mostly driven by mathematically negative energy, because it is mostly for profit, which is exclusive to mathematically negative energy use.
All political lobbies, being profit driven, therefore having access to greater sources of funds, are driven to suppress any research questioning profit itself, hence why you never heard of this before.
But it all comes out when we use formal systems Engineering methods, to trace it all through and audit the effects of all kinds of energy use and generation.
It surprises me Will has seen this research but remembers none of it.
It is all here in Medium, 350 stories to date but the platform itself is profit driven, so suppresses it.
