The debate is outdated, not because somewhere in the future would it be possible to switch to batteries and renewable energy generation if everything remains the same, but because everything won’t remain the same. We’ve been pushing the natural variations of our climate system towards the edge of surpassing tipping points and accelerating feedback loops, and maybe with an extra push (like the present El Niño cycle) we might cross it into a path of not return. Maybe if we restricted our energy requirements 30 years ago, pushed strongly for renewables, changed our so emitting energy sources to existing cleaner ones even at an economic loss we might not have been so close to that point and had enough time for a batteries revolution. But now it may be too little, too late already. There are signals of acceleration in trends (I.e. https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/ https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/ ) that may change badly conditions in a few years. And emitting less is not solving, just not worsening as bad as not doing it, even if we switch to batteries by tomorrow by some magic.
