I deeply wish I could believe what you are saying, but you are largely overlooking one sad fact: the foundation of our global market economy, and hence of our unparalleled affluence (at least in the global North) and our massive global population—is net energy: the energy we have left after the energy we invest to get that energy. And so, in order to build out a global renewable infrastructure of solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass, and nuclear power, we will need a huge investment of cheap net energy for extraction of rare minerals (for batteries and building materials), manufacturing, transportation, and distribution. Yet all of these renewables have very low—even negative net energy when all the necessary inputs are calculated. The only available source of cheap, abundant, easily extracted, refined, and transported net energy available is…fossil fuels. Alas…
