I've written a lot on this subject as a Systems Engineer working voluntarily on it since 2017, after realising the issue is existential during PhD candidate work which I was doing at the time.
The issue you discuss is most effectively sorted out by a formal Stakeholder analysis.
Doing this quickly exposes a systemic process which is at the root of all of the problems; profit.
That process is systemically dependent on energy extracted from Earth.
Profit, and energy by extraction, are intrinsically interdependent.
Each depends on the other to exist.
Move the consumption of humanity to solar, and most possibilities of profit are removed.
But we can't do that at profit, that is physically impossible.
So the mechanism of profit has to be removed, to free us up to truly moving to solar.
We can do this by issue of massive stimulus.
Naysayers claim this is not possible because money will devalue.
But when we trace the dependencies including mathematically signing energy, positive at source, the sun, propagating through to positive processes of creation, and negative processes of destruction, we notice money is actually devaluing because it is not being issued as stimulus, the opposite of the effect prior to putting any solar energy to use.
So now we see a credit building up, representing the amount of money that has to be issued as stimulus, sooner or later, to back up the economic product being continuously added by the ongoing use of solar.
In UK this sum is more than 457Bn since 2005.
The solution begins by issueing the required and outstanding stimulus.
This year alone it is 50Bn.
It has to be far more in US.
I sent you a link to the 50Bn black hole story, showing method of calculation, using demographic and utilities energy data.
I hope you find time to have a look and comment on it soon.

Otherwise, your story looks like the very same distraction tactics that you identify are done by oil companies :)
