In large, populous nations, the complete reliance on these renewables would require what we are still missing: either mass-scale, long-term (days to weeks) electricity storage that would back up intermittent electricity generation, or extensive grids of high-voltage lines to transmit electricity across time zones and from sunny and windy regions to

In this instance, it’ll involve a mix of ingenuity around supply chains (like using blockchain to improve traceability) and materials science (like using alternatives such as niobium from Canada or Brazil).
Supply chain is going to be everything when it comes to renewables. How do we make it sustainable and ethical to make energy sustainable?
Much like a good movie, life eventually forces the protagonist (whether it’s you or, say, Tom Cruise) to choose between two irreconcilable goods : a comfortable living, or a clean conscience ( The Firm ); the love of your life, or the job of your dreams ( Jerry Maguire ).
