That's why I'm pretty stoked about Germany's push to become renewable and sustainable in earnest (at least for energy), even though it's going to be brutally expensive, extremely difficult and the outcome is not at all certain (not quite the kind of move you'd expect from Germany, actually). But at last someone's giving it a shot, and if that gamble works out, wow. That might completely change our collective trajectory in a crazy good way. And Germany might just be able to pull this off, with its deep pockets and highly innovative engineering base. I have high hopes that a few decades from now, there will be renewables, storage, grid tech that'll make the current stuff look crude and primitive and crazy inefficient, like what has been achieved with CPUs/SoCs since the 80s.
