From where I sit, Lomborg vastly underestimates the economic costs of climate change. However, he is correct on concentrating for the moment of getting ready for consequences. At present, most of our infrastructure is extremely vulnable to the weather events that are already happening due to the increased warming. But we have to address the energy issue. From both conservation and generation standpoints.
Solar is rapidly declining in price, and is becoming increasingly practicle for homeowners in the grid parallel configuration. Windmills are proving practicle, and when we extend the grid into the areas where the most potential exists, will be even more practical.
We do need a new grid that is capable of picking up the 2 kw homeowners solar panels, or the 2 gw nuke plant. And we need to harden it. Right now, it is extremely vulneble to a Carrington Event.
