Energy transition - Even if it were technically possible, it would be very expensive

We are going into the question of whether it is true that this energy transition is not technically a problem.

Fossil fuels are ideal. The energy stored in them is available in any quantity in a highly compressed form. The price to be paid for this only covers production costs and profit expectations of the owners of the energy sources.

This ideal situation has enabled humans to create energetically inefficient systems. Wind and solar energy supply system, which also includes the energy-intensive compression, stabilization and storage of energy (from volatile wind to quality electricity), requires huge investments in resources (money, energy, space) that we do not have to the desired extent.
