What you have identified, without going into the details, is energy slavery. We should see how any system of humans operating for profit has to quickly become this, no matter who practices it, this is what it becomes, and if you think about it, what we are trying to do, when we try to even up the score, of the effect of energy being hoovered from poorer places and poorer folk to richer, by just taking it by force, and / or even by guile, we are doing exactly what the others did.
Profit is just energy theft with a sweetener.
The planet has to be always the ultimate conned party.
We can't fix it by doing more of the same.
To get over it, we have to remove everyone's dependence on participating in the for profit system.
If we truly wanted to empower people, all people, we should empower all to become domestic and community solar powered, backed by hydrogen to enable all to generate fuel for things still needing fuel, like aviation.
But we don't do that because we are not empowered like this ourselves, so we still need to steal the energy of others to survive.
If you don't feel like you play any part in that, ask yourself where the Joules of energy you metabolise came from. You went to the shop or ordered online from some supplier or shop, and on average you paid less in terms of energy cost than the enetgy content of the food you comsumed, otherwise you would be energy bankrupt, which means dead. See how it works? We have no choice as stands but to participate in that, and look, the energy taken from the planet goes ultimately to heat.
But it all changes, after we ourselves get solar indexed stimulus, removing our need to carry on profiting, to implement whatever we need to improve the financial stipend for everyone.
After we've done that we will be more than equipped to assist others to do the same.
