The energy is not the problem. The technologies are inefficient. They take a long time to get carbon neutral (to capture enough carbon to make up for the manufacturing process) so scaling is a problem.
I’m not trying to be downer. Just stating things as they are.
Good thing we can have so much cheap abundant excess energy that at times it’s actually a problem for the grid!

Inefficiency is:
irrelevant when we have too much energy on sunny or windy days
not something to justify inaction
