“Without major action to reduce emissions, global temperature is on track to rise by 2.5 °C to 4.5 °C (4.5 °F to 8 °F) by 2100, according to the latest estimates.” (NASA).
This would be bad, very bad. So, what’s going to happen? The pace of decarbonizing the world economy will accelerate a lot and that is going to cause a host of problems. Yes, we must do it, but it will be painful and costly.
What we can expect is that the electric grid will become less stable and reliable as intermittent renewables are added, faster than batteries can manage the problems. This will result in extreme price volatility and almost daily warnings from the grid regarding capacity and the potential for brown outs.
