The disparity between our current generation capacity and the overwhelmingly larger energy sources we're committing to eliminating in shorter and shorter timescales looks insurmountable when you factor in the sheer volume of generating capacity and infrastructure that needs planning and building from scratch in short order.

If these targets are to be met then we're looking at draconian restrictions on all facets of our lives that make our recent lockdowns look like party-time .... which means that in reality they're unlikely to be met under any system short of full military dictatorship
