It's not a matter of paying for it. If the best we can do for the creation of energy is an ER/EI of 4 (even 7), there will be no world economy as we have known it for the last 100 years. There will be no societal surplus left over for "money". For the division of labor. Things will be much smaller and simpler in the future (30 years).
