Renewable energy is also significantly less expensive.
Imagine an economy that doesn't have to subsidize the fossil fuel industry.

The "analysts" they used for this are almost assuredly over estimating actual cost (at $100B)
If you look at countries who are already doing this.. China, Denmark, etc.
Costs don't stay flat over time... they decrease as more of your infra switches over (to renewables)
- that's "even if" you do it "the dumbest possible way" (1-to1 replacements)
If they do Micro-grids it's cheaper, more reliable, +easier to transition
