Having worked on the finance and planning side of power gen (also mining and oil) in multiple countries and technologies and participated with the UN and other governmental and paragovermental entities, I think we must first start by defining
what is green energy?.
Currently (IMHO) the better option is Synth Gas as being made on the Haru Oni pilot plant down in Punta Arenas Chile. In very simple terms, carbon needed comes from carbon capture, hydrogen from electrolysis, electricity for electrolysis from wind driven turbine.
Output is gasoline thus no need for new transport, sales or vehicle infrastructure. No need to pile up thousands of "obsolete cars", no need to mine rare and/or exotic metals.
When the synth gas is burnt, the CO emitted is the one recycled by the carbon capture.
If you add up all the factors behind this tech or EV the "cost" to the planet (and wallets) is way lower.
