Quite an approach, to study something, the most complex system we know for a week, and then speak authoritatively on it :)

But at least you are thinking about it. I think this is good, everyone needs to be at least thinking about it. It needs to become a lifelong interest of everyone.

Hopefully you won't be surprised to know that in a week you can maybe learn just enough to be dangerous.

True, economic growth does require growth in energy and production, but something even those in the "Renewables" industry have not accepted yet, as far as I can see, is that solar energy received itself is product, and therefore should be monetised, as it is absolutely product added to Earth.

That's the difference between solar and all of the others.

Solar is the only source of energy.

All others are sources of fuel, or capital, and since that capital is finite (relative to the amount that nature adds using solar every day), of course we are depleting it, including all species of life which depend on it, even us.
