What you are saying makes sense from the point of view of money-as-debt, and capitalism, the idea that all things of value are represented by capital.
But if we remember all energy comes from the sun, it arrives as Joules, continuously, forever, for free, then it follows that if we find a way to monetise those Joules, and even convert those Joules to Hydrogen fuel, which directly replaces fossil fuel with no pollution caused, by either the creation of the money or the fuel, then the money generated is continuous, without limit, so it can be given away for free, at no cost, to pay for things like maintenance and scaling of the infrastructure collecting it, as well as fund all CO2 cleaning efforts, and all people in general.
But the penalty expected by capitalists, including even many Bitcoiners, is that their capital would no longer have any advantage of value. In other words everything they worked to save, would be reduced to zero.
But why would anyone think they need to have such advantage, if all money, and thus everything it can buy, becomes free for all people?
The truth is, this is the only way out of our current predicament of global pollution, because it is the activity of all business for profit which commits us to further extraction, every account balance describing capital, represented by money-as-debt, every agreement of debt, is more commitment to extract.
You might recognise proof-of-work tokens are the mechanism which monetises sunlight.
I think most people would interpret this as good news, rather than bad.
