These proportions should change a lot in the coming decades, between wind/solar/storage and EV revolutions addressing about 2/3 of the "energy generation" part, at least.
As for food, the major potential revolutions are vertical farming and "lab meat", and those are very far from large scale implementation.
- techbio 6y agoThat may be. I have no idea how many solar panels it takes to power the manufacture of a solar panel.

As the grid gets cleaner, solar manufacturing gets cleaner as well (solar, wind, hydro pushing out coal and natural gas) https://cleantechnica.com/2018/02/03/solar-power-can-pay-easily/ https://cleantechnica.com/2018/02/03/solar-power-can-pay-eas...
