Fossil Fuels like coal, petroleum, natural gas are Renewable.
Incorrect. Some of them are in narrow contexts, but the majority of fossilized fuels were made under conditions of "buried solar" that aren't happening nearly as fast now as they were back before trees evolved to get closer to the sun.
oil is a problem, but it's an: "In the next 200 years problem".
The final solution is solar panels. The difficult part is going to be collecting it all without being an eye-sore.
Solar can pee gasoline into a jerry can, and that will become viable in 200 years. But since that's not something to make money now, only amateurs are going to waste their time with it.

The next pressing problem is: "I'm unhappy the grid is no longer paying me money for when my solar panels produce power between the hours of 10AM to 4PM, since that's when all the others are over-saturating the grid.
One of you galaxy brains needs to home-run a battery technology.

Solar makes power during the day and stops just as the highest demand period hits. With large amounts of solar what you end up doing is building two electric grids worth of generation, and only run them at about 25% total capacity.
It's 25% because overnight demand is about 20% of peak demand; With a single on demand source of power you have about 60% use overall.
The graph shows that in California they make 100% of the spot demand mid day with solar, then in the evening fire up slightly more total capacity to run for 5 hours.
