So yeah, probably best just to try and use less energy.
All the breakthroughs that we will likely see have happened, such as the 40ish percent efficient solar panels. They put out double the power for their size but cost at least 20x to 40x per watt more than current panels in use.
The panels we have now are the sum of efforts to get the most watts for the least $.
To solar and wind power everything will require a lot of sacrifice, mines, wind farms, solar panels are going to have to be put where people don't want them.
Be carefulwhat you wish fpr, you just might get it.
