What QoL-reducing mitigations?A bunch of little things. It will be hard to drive 800 miles in one day in a fully electric car. By 2050 it will be less expensive to heat your home with heat pumps wherever you now have air conditioners, rather than have a steam or hot water system based on an oil or gas furnace. That will be slightly inconvenient, and may require an investment you wouldn't otherwise need to make. There will be transition periods where the renewable energy sources aren't sufficiently supplemented by pumped storage hydro, and there could be spot power shortages. Say if your whole region is windless for a day or two you might only be able to recharge your car during the day and not at night. The price of power probably will go up a bit. Solar plus wind plus storage is probably more expensive than gas-fired turbines. |
