How to defossilize ? China has monopolised rare earth minerals. Initial investment in renewable energy is very high. You have to set up lot of solar panels, wind farms, tidal farms, biomass etc. You also have to set up energy storage equipments because renewable energy is erratic, not constant. You have to manage loads when sufficient energy is not generated. Everybody says go for renewable but won’t reduce their energy footprints.
