Energy Transition: How Can We Succeed?

How can we optimize our chance to succeed in the energy transition? 70% to 80% of our energy consumption is still from nonrenewable sources. Switching to a model that would not depend on nonrenewable energy needs itself - at least for the moment - to use nonrenewable energy. This talk formalizes the energy transition as a decision making problem under the constraint that a finite budget of nonrenewable energy is given. The goal is to efficiently allocate such a budget to get rid of our dependence to nonrenewable energy before we run out of it.
