Imagine someone were to invent a miracle power source that could be produced easily and cheaply by anyone and allowed all vehicles to be powered for free, completely obliterating the fossil fuel industry. In this situation, would you say value was created or destroyed?

If we just let the fossil fuel infrastructure rust/sink? Lots definitely destroyed.

Perhaps material-neutral "value" is not a particular good measure of anything.
