In California it’s already law to be 100% carbon free by like 2050 or something. Solar and wind are definitely tools to have in the tool bag, but they are expensive, high maintenance, and don’t generate around the clock so they need massive battery banks to be stand alone (technology which doesn’t exist yet at that scale). They have their own environmental impacts too. It’s a shame we don’t consider nuclear at all, and we don’t acknowledge hydro as “clean” since it blocks fish from migrating up the rivers (pay no attention to the eagles and other wildlife that thrives due to the reservoir ls created, flood control, recreation, and water supply). A reasonable approach would utilize all the tools, including natural gas, to maintain reliable and affordable (and relatively clean) power.
