A key issue for the accomplishment of renewables is power storage because of the impact of wind and solar intermittency, both of which are highly intermittent. Most studies assume gas will be the buffer for intermittency. Other than using fossil fuel such as gas as a buffer, an adequate power storage system to handle intermittency will require 30 times more material than what electric vehicles require with current plans, meaning the scope is much larger than the current paradigm allows.
This shows that the whole capitalist growth ideology is fundamentally incompatible with our civilization surviving long term. It’s kind of amazing how all these economists can’t imagine our society running any other way than it is now.
