A very high renewables grid is going to have an awful lot of power to use for other things, when in surplus. Tony Seba refers to that as super power.

We will be producing at 3 or 4 times the standard grid requirements at times. Some will go into storage, but not much. Then hydrogen production.

But put a good price on carbon and we will have lots of non carbon based surplus energy to tame climate change. I think where we put it will be more the question.

A lot of that power could go to air scrubbing for cleaner air in urban areas as well, which could save thousands of lives globally.
