Ps Bob if the materials we are creating are not pollution, not toxic to life, then we can never get enough, it is the opposite of what happens when we use any energy from Earth.
I was surprised to confirm this, when it first started to appear to me, a number if years ago, I thought it had to be too good to be true. But on cross examining it, even numerically, it all adds up. It is most easily seen by considering Earth as just a kind of battery, trickle charged by the sun.
As stands, we are bottom feeders, feeding off the negative terminal, discharging the battery. all "current" flowing through humanity right now is negative, but we see it as positive, because we don't compare it mathematically with the flow from sun to Earth, the actual positive flow that matters.
When we switch to all solar, we remove our load from the negative end, placing ourselves instead in the positive flow, providing an additional path of flow to Earth.
See how this enhances creation instead of subtracting from it?
By doing this, we will increase the energy put to use on Earth, rather than subtracting from it like we always did until now.
Again this path that we would be adding, has much higher conductivity than the original path of sun to Earth, it has rate multiplied by humanity in the same way as rate of destruction is multiplied by humanity when all is negative.
Hence why the rate we can create at, is far in excess of nature alone.
If you see this clearly, it looks very like this is what nature always intended, this is the purpose of humanity, our real function was always to enhance nature, we were created by nature to do this, as surely as any unborn baby is created for a life contributing more energy to it's mother than it ever took out whilst it was dependent on the energy of its mother.
To me all the signs are screaming this to us, but our fixation with profit is proving to be one of the biggest challenges ever to deal with.
If we don't manage that challenge, then effectively we will be stillborn, DOA, we will never know what we could have been as an adult "Intelligent" species.
