The goal of building the "renewable" infrastructure is so that the few remaining technocrat families can live in a modern technological society without needing to rely on the "dirty peasants" who are necessary to pull from the earth those resources on which civilization relies.
The pretext is "saving the planet". But the true plan is to centralize the "peasant" population into AI and drone managed "cities" really concentration camps that pretend they aren't. Then reduce that population through attrition, helped along by "vaccines", bug diets, denying sunlight, and induced mental illness.
Keep just enough alive so that there is a ready supply of pretty young girls and useful or entertaining autists to keep the Eloi utopia from stagnating.
Bezo's plan to have most of the human population living and working in space is probably really going to shoot people into the sun. Then you'll get AI-generated "wish you were here" postcards from your family members living in space who strangely never get permission to come back to Earth. By the time everyone has woken up it will be too late.

That makes for a very interesting dark sci Fi.
