We are currently consuming 17 TW continuous average. 400TWh to store 1 day's worth. Still 200 even if full electric conversion happens to be twice as efficient. 20 world GigaFactories for 60 years. The world will be one big pit mine before we are done.
One scenario,is to interconnect the entire planet on the same grid,allowing daytime to power night time,as Earth rotates.Plus wind,hydro,tidal,wave,geothermal,nukes,etc..
