We will figure out better ways to store solar and wind energy for when it is night and there is no wind. There are already technologies to do it but I haven't seen any that seem practical to scale globally yet. Ultimately, we will build enough solar and wind capacity to provide more energy than we need for when the days aren't windy or sunny enough.

Lithium itself is abundant even outside of China. [0] https://youtu.be/BoGNEZF2XFQ https://youtu.be/BoGNEZF2XFQ
