Thinking humans are any kind of problem makes you an agent of the System that is trying to kill off all life on Earth.
That is what your story looks like to those of us who can see the real two ways things can go.
The system of mathematically negative energy, assisted by all the agents who can't see it, don't want to see it, end all humanity and all life with a final orgy of negative energy fueled profit.
Or we switch instantly to mathematically positive energy by paying out now what is owed to the public for putting mathematically positive energy to use, eliminating all requirements for all people including all agents to continue living for profit, ending the system of profit, and mathematically negative energy, instantly.
The agents are too stupid, too selfish, too greedy to see that humanity is just another plant, just like all plants, except the plant of humanity took thousands of years to grow its first leaves.
The agents are too stupid, too selfish, too greedy to see that this plant can be, and must be powered by the same thing that powers all plants, the sun.
The agents are too stupid, too selfish, too greedy, too hooked on mathematically negative energy, to realise they themselves, and their refusal to allow the majority to flourish by money created to ennumerate the mathematically positive Joules of energy actually received by the infant leaves of the plant of humanity and put to use, are the problem.
If humanity ends, it will be at the hands of agents.
In fact it is already ending, at the hands of agents, but the agents can't, and won't see it.
