Finally some pragmatic analysis is making it's way online discussing the inability of solar and wind to ever seamlessly replace liquid fuel and carbon energy at the immense scale we depend on in order to keep the world economy viable.
.

But what is the current combined share of solar photovoltaic energy and solar thermal energy, wind and tidal energy, and geothermal energy? (I am not including hydroelectric power and biomass here?
The figure is actually much smaller: a mere 1.5 per cent.
in actual quantities, the share of petroleum and gas increased twice as much as renewable electricity between 2011 and 2016.
The energy transition is unfolding much too slowly and will not be completed by 2050.
The stumbling blocks are greater and more numerous than the resistance of the fossil fuel industry.
Peak oil and the slow expansion of renewable energy will result in a decrease in the total quantity of energy available by 2050 or thereabouts.
The shortfall will bring about degrowth,
