I always wonder what the point of these articles are. If we're going through the effort of electrifying hundreds of thousands of homes we're obviously going to upgrade our power grids as well. A switch to renewable energy is going to require almost all of our infrastructure to be replaced.

That comes at a huge cost but the alternative is societal collapse once non-renewable energy runs out. Everyone agrees the switch will need to happen eventually, but lots of people seem to want to pass that responsibility on to the next generation. How long can we do that for?
