One of the aims of renewables is to reduce the need to use mineral carbon reserves still buried in the ground - the movement has a number of terms which are often poorly understood though sometimes thumped as being the solution like carbon neutral or net zero. [1] However unlike the past with coal where the aim was to do it better as less cost, (and frankly the cheaper path that opened would certainly open a market and shift adopting that technology,) the path ahead will have to consider overall climate effects. In the next couple of decades I think it will be pretty obvious that to maintain a climate we were once familiar with, there will have to be steps towards pushing the global temp downwards, along with regional projects to address issues like the loss of animal and plant diversity, water use, prolonged heat bubbles and better commuter travel / options.
