Solar and wind cannot do that. We'll need oil and gas to tide us over for that decade or more.

Some gas, but we can reduce it by an order of magnitude. Either way nuclear is not coming online quickly.

Solar and wind are scaling much faster than gas and oil right now. After the recent Iran war I think it would be insane to rely on new oil or gas. Yeah let’s rely on this commodity whose supply and price are controlled by the dumbest egomaniacs on the planet.
