The following submission statement was provided by /u/ForHidingSquirrels:

The IEA says renewable electricity from wind and solar are on pace to manufacture enough hardware to generate enough electricity to meet all electricity needs - the report also suggests that all energy needs can be met in time. Including industrial and transportation.

This is being done aggressively by the Chinese - who are using it for national security needs at this point. The nation spent $500 billion in clean energy - equal to the rest of the world.
