There are convincing arguments currently bantered about concerning economic laws.
I'll offer two that can be seen as extremes. Joe's Law takes an accounting of both extremes. Exponential rates of growth are turned toward producing more power and that math side of the perspective extreme can be viewed in the following links:

Suffer through all that Doom and arrive at the opposite extreme here:

Joe's Law simply finds the common denominator.
Power
When power is produced into a condition of over-supply there isn’t really an over-supply. The cost goes down because there is more power around, however – the power can be invested into the production of more power producing products. A Solar Panel or a Tree are examples of how these power producing products reproduce. At current prices a Solar Panel will reproduce or pay for itself in less than 10 years and they last for 25. Solar Panels produce electricity. Trees produce oxygen.
A Solar Panel doubles in less than 10 years at prices and output supplies computed in the past. Now output supplies are greater, prices are lower, and relative costs of electricity are higher. All those variables move the affordability of making power at home less a luxury and more of a necessity. Eventually the guy next door who is generating his own electricity and driving his electric car will be pocketing all the money you are spending on electricity and gasoline. Meanwhile someone has to expend the power to make power producing products and people are doing just that right now.
A few days ago, for example, the first Tesla electric automobile dealer opened in California. The other electric auto maker, Aptera, is taking orders for their 300 mph hybrid or ALL electric car.
Solar Panels are going up on houses, building, and municipalities.
Wind Generators are popping up all over the place.
Joe’s Law says:
Power produced into a state of oversupply reduces the price of power while purchasing power increases since power reduces the costs of production.

These are interesting times. With oil trading above $100/barrel, a larger portion of our national wealth is being spent on the cost of energy.
+++++++++++
When applying Joe's Law to the above described situation the end result is a realization concerning the facts of oil prices.
As oil prices increase the power of producing power at home increases. Joe's Law becomes even more obviously affordable. Compare a person who does not understand Joe's Law to someone who does.
Someone who does not understand Joe's Law may continue to put dollars in a 401K retirement account while someone who does understand Joe's law invests in Solar Panels and an Electric Car or two.
As Joe's law works in time the person who does not understand Joe's Law pays the higher price of gasoline while the person who does understand Joe's Law produces the fuel for his car from the sun.
One person pays the price while the other person earns power at home.
The math calculations are easier to see as Joe's Law operates concerning the price of oil.
Joe’s Law person A can buy the Solar Panels and the Electric cars even when using legal currency that costs an interest payment and still pay less per month than the non-Joe’s Law person. The savings in electricity, natural gas, and gasoline costs offset the monthly payment on the Solar Panels and the Electric Cars. The person applying Joe’s Law ends up with money in his pocket every month while the non-Joe’s Law person continues to work more and more for less and less.
