That’s a total pipe dream. While at the same time replacing all built out fossil fuel infrastructure with electric.
We lack the political will, the cultural readiness, the proper narrative. Even the appropriate resources.
Beyond those concerns, nearly everything about how we heat, move, cool and manufacture the components of our modern lives will have to be refashioned (and possibly jettisoned) as part of that project.
Such an ambitious undertaking has no historical analog. It’s a ridiculously complex set of problems (which have solutions) and predicaments (which don’t). It’s exactly the sort of situation that politicians will avoid as long as possible, after which it will be too late to do very much about it"

It will never happen,with you talking like that.The last 20-years in the Middle East has cost us 2.3-Terrawatts of installed renewable power.Up in smoke.We'd never have been there if it weren't for petroleum.That's more power than we'd need if we could get away from fossil-fuel entropy.What you defend the most is what we need to end as fast as we possibly can.
We've got enough off-the-shelf technology to work with today.The longer we delay,the nastier the picture becomes.
