Well, the glib answer is it’s too early to tell.
The real answer is just the name ‘renewable energy’ is a con. The law of thermodynamics tells us that no matter what, it’s going to cost you somewhere, and there will be waste in the form of heat, and as noted in the past, the mere construction of batteries, power conversion equipment are expensive and energy intensive themselves.
We are entering the phase of mass robotification. Very early mind you, but I can’t envision how much acceleration is behind that technology. Asteroid mining and orbital energy collectors have a lot of conceptual pressure, meaning at some point there will be breakout technology. It may be 10 years or 100 years but it will happen if we haven’t destroyed ourselves beforehand or neutered ourselves into a dead end society with socialism/communism. That breakthrough that propels us forward will undoubtedly be in energy generation/collecting.
Solar collectors in orbit beaming energy down have been proposed.
Far more efficient than collectors on earth, but the beaming down microwaves bit has always struck me as potentially a problem.
