Hehe I was expecting you to say something really brave, going on the title of your story but you said something even braver, actually insane. imho :)
Most folk accept using fossil fuels is killing the planet. It's easy to work out however you look at it, so I am wondering if you are serious.
On which energy is most reliable, we have to start with the one that powers all of nature on Earth, but destroys, as the penalty for not using it, like when we choose instead to extract stuff from Earth, converting that to heat to give us even more heat.
Notice the planet is burning? Notice it's also flooding? Both those things are due to temperature rise.
You might not have seen solar used effectively, since it is not something the US has done much, but it is a very mature tech now, very reliable, especially with hydrogen backup. But it is expensive, currently to do that, most profit driven efforts will balk at hydrogen because they don't see it as something that will help short term profits.
But pretty soon we will be forced by nature to issue Kardashev Money, to stop inflation, which is happening because of the continuing shift of energy supply away from utilities energy companies, towards domestic and community solar.
When that money starts to be issued, everyone will be incentivised and empowered, to get on with producing as much hydrogen from solar as we possibly can, because it will quickly replace fossil fuels, even removing the need for most batteries, and best of all, the more we can produce, the more we wind the temperature down, and the more money everybody makes.
That will be us monetising and rewarding creation.
Meantime, as long as we keep robbing the planet of energy, the temperature will keep going up, the inflation will keep devaluing money to nothing, and actually nuclear war will keep drawing closer.
So I'd say if we want to provide really reliable energy to folk, especially in hot countries, best thing we could do for them is give them domestic and community solar, backed by hydrogen.
It would have to be all donated too, nothing asked in return.
Did you know it is possible to cook with hydrogen gas, just like fossil fuel gas?
There is a hydrogen trial program in UK where they are trying that out, a whole town powered by hydrogen instead of fossil gas.
Probably an expensive project because it will still be fossil fueled at the input right now, but it could easily be made green very quick just by giving them domestic and community solar with hydrogen electrolysis capability, if they haven't already (I haven't checked for a while, thanks for the reminder)
A cool scaleable domestic and community scale hydrogen electolyser is enapter. You should look it up, rack mountable, maybe six inch high, each one generates 1kg hydrogen per 24 hrs on 2.4 KW of electrical energy.
Pair that up with an equivalent or slightly lower power fuel cell, via hydrogen tank, with enough solar capacity to leverage more than 2.5 KW given the usable daylight hours of the location, and you have a fully backed up installation, no large batteries, and hydrogen which will accumulate to excess which can be sold to anyone.
I thought I'd been through all this with you before, didn't we cover this?
