"Wharfie, you keep dodging the question because you know the renewable energy utopia is unreachable."
Actually, I don't know that, but I do know you can't just snap your fingers and have it happen.

"Because if going "100% renewable" was economically viable right now, we in California would have already achieved it."
LMAO. That's just finger-snapping magical thinking, but your elixir is missing tincture of time. The first target, in '06, was to reduce emissions to where they were in '90, by 2020; 1990, not 1890. The most recent target is zero emissions by 2045.

"Yet we can't even transition to a future of renewable energy?"
We can, but not instantaneously.

'Just like we achieved the unwiring of communications all across the world."
We didn't need to replace industrial scale FF generators with industrial scale renewables to do that, did we?
==
"Just like we achieved putting tens of billions of transistors into the space of a fingernail."
It's a pity we can't do the same with solar panels and wind turbines, and just as cheaply..
