These proportions should change a lot in the coming decades, between wind/solar/storage and EV revolutions addressing about 2/3 of the "energy generation" part, at least.

As for food, the major potential revolutions are vertical farming and "lab meat", and those are very far from large scale implementation.

That may be. I have no idea how many solar panels it takes to power the manufacture of a solar panel.

Solar EROEI (energy returned on energy invested) is very good. As the grid gets cleaner, solar manufacturing gets cleaner as well (solar, wind, hydro pushing out coal and natural gas)
