My own analyses show that profit is directly related to energy by extraction from the planet.

This puts to shame all profit driven efforts to fix the problem of the planet burning.

It can't be fixed at profit.

No problem can, only management of symptoms can make profit, which just perpetuates the problems, never cures them. Think cancer, covid, diabetes, you name it, if any of them were ever cured, huge businesses would disappear tomorrow. We seem to have gotten away with this, concerning treatment of ill individuals, but it won't work with an ill planet.

Only one way to get over this problem, that is to go fully solar, the only kind of energy that actually adds creatively to Earth, always cooling, adding creatively when put to use, rather than extracting, destroying, and heating.

The only way we can do that is to monetise the economic product already created from solar, so as to fund completion of the infrastructure needed to go 100% solar with no further delay.

That will result in the total devaluation of all capital and the end of all business for profit.

But that would be a worthwhile price to pay for survival, would it not. Besides the solar indexed UBI resutling thereafter would be a very generous income, the end of all financial worries for all people, regardless of employment, and actually full empowerment for anyone to start any kind of creative business they wish

Otherwise we will remain stuck in this part-way state, still dependent on profit, still increasingly burning the planet.

No amount of massaging of data can change that, this is nature coming through like a train, unstoppable.

We either go with it or burn.
