What exactly are the consequences in this case?
muh v8 motooooooor
A lot of focus and money spent on renewables that could have been spent elsewhere, like on infrastructure or welfare. Wind and solar farms take up a lot of space that could be used for other things like nature. I'm not saying renewables are bad, but it's always a compromise on where to spend resources.
Wind turbines do not take up much space, especially off shore ones.
Solar panels can easily go over areas we aren’t even using like roofs and non arable land.
unless we became a global leader in clean energy and our economy grew accordingly. then we would have more money for other things too.
Also i would argue clean renewable energy is a form of welfare since it would lead to better health for everyone (thus less healthcare costs), and cheaper energy as well.
Especially in the long run. I expect it to be unlimited in the way internet plans are, where you just pay a monthly fee and can use as much as you need (within reason).
