Yes but if those atoms came from the sun, as makes much more simple sense than the currently accepted "Accretion" theory, then it all stacks up. Just like oil, removing the energy from those atoms requires work, destructing something created by nature, from the energy of the sun so is just another form of extraction, creating pollution.
We are tied into extraction by every promise to pay being a promise to extract, and money is only issued on creation of debt. No money is issued on the now tens of GigaJoules of energy per second donated to us from the sun, being received and put to use in every developed country.
Issuing the money honestly representing that, would finally be solar energy correctly valued.
It has to happen, to stop inflation, sooner or later.
I wonder how long we will need to wait?
