Tainter seems to have got most things about right, but appears to still have the standard conventional restriction of thinking always in terms of profit and returns on investment (ROI).

That looks almost like blinkers, on the conventional business folks’ outlook, they refuse to remove them.

Now we know how to monetise the free energy of sunlight, everything is possible, the law of diminishing returns no longer applies, but it is still enforced by folk refusing to remove the profit driven blinkers.

The truth is free money can be printed and handed out in quantity now, as we saw with the first stimulus of $4Tn in one month.

Twice the amount spent in the entire Afghanistan war, apparently, and the dollar went up, not down.

It is going down now because it is not being handed out.

Money backed by the energy of the sun is being pumped in by the backdoor of the world economy via Bitcoin.

That explains why now fiat can be handed out, the wealth is backed by the sun, rather than by debt.

People having spent their lives accruing capital, often at great personal expense, don’t like the idea that such a thing could be true, but it absolutely is the truth.

The world of tomorrow will be a donation economy, sourced from the sun.

The technicality of places like UK not having sufficient ground area to capture enough sun to power our needs is irrelevant, if we consider the practicality of a world grid.

A world grid could be made using superconducting transmission lines to all places, with solar farms only needed in desert areas near the equator.

That is possible, because expense is no object when money is free and unlimited, and it is, backed by the sun.

Return on investment no longer has meaning in the new world of scarcity eliminated.

Even better, the creation effect of the energy of the sun on Earth is amplified, when we use it directly for our energy, rather than undoing what the sun created to obtain our energy, so the damage done to our environment to date is reversed.
