that’s the thing.
Solar and Wind have already gone a long way if you have followed the field for 50-60+ years.
wind turbines used to put out 100’s to a few 1,000’s of watts, like the old Bergey’s and others
however the power goes up as to the ==>cube<== of the swept area of the blades, so they now put out megawatts
solar has gone from over $1,600 - $1,800 a =>watt<= (not kilowatt, but watt) to roughly 25-35cents or so a watt,
both of these have already done a lot of the long way to go.
the batteries are on the same cost curves.
fossil fuels don’t need to be vilified, they will go away due to all their costs, including cleanup, being negative returns on investments.
there are a lot of resources out there, i would suggest you eschew the first one you used watts up something or another, as it is not quite believable and opinion guided by climate change skeptics
BP Statistical review is good as it is data, just data,
do a few graphs of the wind and solar data from there.
you may also consider that ~78% of oil burned for transportation is wasted as heat and noise, EV’s are a lot more efficient in moving a vehicle.
this could mean that as example, if an EV wasted 40% vs 78%,
1/2 the energy could move the same amount of vehicles, so you get knock on effects, plus distributed generation, T&D is essentially zero, virtually zero fuel costs
look at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab Sankey charts of energy and the growth of wind and solar.
