How to defossilize ? China has monopolised rare earth minerals. Initial investment in renewable energy is very high. You have to set up lot of solar panels, wind farms, tidal farms, biomass etc. You also have to set up energy storage equipments because renewable energy is erratic, not constant. You have to manage loads when sufficient energy is not generated. Everybody says go for renewable but won’t reduce their energy footprints.
What many people will take away from your comment is that we shouldn’t try because it’s going to be hard. I don’t think that’s the message you want to be sending so perhaps you should rethink your approach.
