Someone said my art is a break from politics and for the record: my art is political

Some energy/climate math for the late night crowd:

Total Absorbed Solar Energy: 240 W/m2
Total human primary energy use in 2024: 186kTWh
(from ourworldindata.org/energy-produ...)

Converting: 186*10^15/5.1x10^14/3600= 0.1 W/m2

=> total energy from solar is 2400 times what we use.
