Yeah but plants just like magically appear, solar panels need raw materials, a factory and all the infrastructure that comes with that. Add that mess into your equations.
I feel - apple grows on a tree in my garden, I eat apple, I power bicycle is more efficient than - I mine raw materials, I build factory, I bring all raw materials to factory, I power factory and produce solar panels, I put solar panels in field, hook them up to the power grid, and then think about charging my ebike which also took way more raw materials than a bicycle due to lack of battery and I would still need to power myself.
What percentage of your calorie intake comes from industrialized agriculture, where planting, growing, and harvesting the food uses a significant amount of fossil fuels and fertilizers and other inputs that come from industrialized production?
Home grown and locally grown food is pretty good for flavor, but not particularly efficient with calories.
