Today's climate and energy briefing at wilson center made it pretty clear that humans are not going to save climate unless countries collaborate at continent-wide levels
why?
wind is already far cheaper than carbon as an energy source but cannot be economically distributed in traditional grids
solar will sonn be chepaer too- it has the same problem as wind in distribution; it can howver be used for stand alone electricity needs
there are also battery storage problems to consider
additionally carbon has many by products -again mainly non recyclable from plastic to various sorts of chemicals most of which have a toxic afterlife
energy, waste, water, buildings, transport -all of these things are inter-related
