Global population begins to shrink. Population growth is far below replacement levels in nearly all developed nations. But the big surprise is the reduced growth in undeveloped countries. This is in part due to small solar infrastructure improving opportunities and education in remote locations.

Transition to clean energy is faster than most anticipated but it’s devastating to many industries and economies. Government regulations to dampen demand for oil bring oilfield energy infrastructure development to a halt. This collapses supply in just a few short years. Growth in renewables explodes due to an extremely high price of oil. This transition happens so fast that grids and generator power plants can’t be upgraded. Grid electricity becomes unreliable. In some places the power grid goes dark. Power companies are bankrupt and shut down. Off grid solar is the new normal. Community solar (5-10,000 residences) is increasingly common. Battery technology improves and several lithium alternatives dominate. Storage solutions are viable but remain expensive and inadequate. People adapt and energy usage fluctuates with availability.

Fusion energy remains a dream for future generations.

Automation is causing massive social damage as low skill jobs disappear. Eventually the reduced birth rates balance this disruption but the next five years are rough. People unwilling or unable to retain for higher skilled jobs become permanently unemployed. Some skilled professionals such as in law and healthcare also experience disruption.

Reply to comment by daleelsayarat-cars in Is Solar Energy for Home Really Worth it in the US: Expert Answers by daleelsayarat-cars
Thanks for sharing but this is an extremely basic article. It might be helpful to let someone know that it is possible to calculate if solar is a good investment but it doesn’t actually allow one to answer that question. I found this article to ‘be a waste of time.
