I think the lowest-risk long-term store of wealth, including inflation as a 'risk', is probably a global index fund or something similar. Cash is safe in nominal terms only.

This might be something that can be done with excess renewable generation capacity.

The link you provided puts 3.3 trillion as the cost of ww2.
The wiki page for the Manhattan project puts it as 1.89 Billion, or about 22 Billion today.

j/k I get what you mean, if we can solve clean, cheap, on demand energy this will seem like a pittance.

Getting off fossil fuels is not going to happen because anyone chose to. It'll be because better, cheaper alternatives come along. Like with electric cars, they aren't a compromise, they're an improvement.
We might be a little way off those improvements in others areas, but they'll come. When we develop fusion or a cheap mass storage option for renewables we'll not burn gas or coal for power or heating much longer.
