It would actually be significantly more difficult to be 100% fossil fuel.
Can you imagine how extremely difficult it would be to run communication and GPS satellites from fossil fuels ?... having to send supplies of O2 and fossil fuels into orbit for that on board fossil fuel to burn ... Or the light energy for all of our food sources (and wood we use to build with) .. to all come from fossil fuel light bulbs instead of RE solar ... RE is easier and cheaper to get to 100%.

I agree 100% RE isn't necessary.
Remember they went beyond the claim about what would be 'difficult' today ... they claimed any RE option can't be viable (financially) vs coal 40 years from now ... and that is just incorrect .. Real world data over-rules opinions .. even the opinions of those with a PHD.
