    Can we produce carbon free energy everywhere/easily transport it anywhere?

    Pretty much. The exact mix of solar, wind, geothermal and hydro varies, but some combination will typically get the job done. And we have nuclear fission as a backstop where necessary.

      That’s equally inspiring and infuriating, given the amount of fossil fuels that we use.

      I do really hope someone sees my comment and remembers the source/knows what to search for, because I wonder if it was calculated before the explosion of rooftop solar/advances in battery technology or if it’s generally leaning towards fear mongering. Or maybe it was just being pessimistic about the likelihood of political will required for carbon free energy everywhere.
