Everything solar is about much more than just using solar energy to power technical equipment. It's about energy flows in processes from the start to the end. Many processes once were fully based on solar energy and today are based on fossil fuels. A house built with wood uses mainly materials created with solar energy (photosynthese), while a house built with concrete use materials made available with heavy machinery fueled with fossil fuels. This VCC takes a holistic view on the flows of energy through all processes in our society from start to end and assesses where more instantaneous solar energy can be used. We review all structures, processes, and feedback loops in our society with respect to the energy needed and the source of energy with the goal to develop novel concepts and approaches that are low-energy and based on the use of instantaneous solar energy.
[Feb. 24, 2026] New Scenario for 2028 Points to an AI-related Highly Undesirable Future for Economy: Aisha Down and Dan Milmo discuss in their article “‘A feedback loop with no brake’: how an AI doomsday report shook US markets” the scenario study “THE 2028 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRISIS A Thought Exercise in Financial History, from the Future” by Citrini and Alap Shah posted on February 22, 2026 on Substack. This study points out that the financial system of today was optimized over decades for a world of scarce human minds. AI changed this: “This is the first time in history the most productive asset in the economy has produced fewer, not more, jobs. Nobody’s framework fits, because none were designed for a world where the scarce input became abundant. So we have to make new frameworks. Whether we build them in time is the only question that matters.” The authors point out that the economy could find a new equilibrium, and “getting to this new equilibrium is one of the few tasks left that only humans can do. We need to do it correctly.”
