How so???

How much less? So if we magically cut primary energy consumption in half tomorrow, we would be at 4% from solar and wind with installed storage still not a visible percentage an any chart.

Do not forget that most energy is embodied into civilization infrastructure and food production. Every massive efficiency transition is estimated to eventually buy us 1/2. Eventually. Theoretically.

So far to go. So little liquid fuel to get there.
