What I'm curious about is whether anyone is even working on theoretical versions of such "magic" solutions. I think the public and even governments have some expectation that "someone" is working on solutions that don't require sacrifice - but are we?
Hacker News discussions always mention Bitcoin's energy usage, but fail to consider a couple points about this: for example, the 2nd-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, is moving to a model that will use a fraction of the electricity it currently does, and that mining is a far smaller pressure to migrate the renewable grid than other industrial uses of energy. It is, basically, an unconsidered meme. I suggest you do some research on the topic; the Tesla you drive (I drive an EV, too) needs a renewable grid, too.
It's true, but of course, a solvable problem, and one everyone is aware of. Chargers have grown massively in the last few years along highway routes, but expansion in the number of fast chargers available to renters (within cities, at shopping centers and apartments, etc.) is already where the major players are focusing now. And Biden's admin stated they want half a million more chargers in the USA (which is an order of magnitude more than currently exist), so we can expect this to improve quickly. You may not, in other words, have to wait until you buy a house.
