I believe that it is likely BigOil that will finally solve much of our renewable energy needs.
They have the huge amounts of capital, and the management abilities to do nation-state levels of production around energy. Some of the more challenging ideas like space based power beaming on a massive scale would require the kind of capital and longterm projects current day BigOil can bring to bear. Truly massive solar farms are the same way, they require huge capital.

Carbon tariff at the border.
Yup, great idea and I absolutely agree.
But that's not part of the agenda for people pushing the abolition of domestic oil. Which makes the conspiracy theorist in me wonder how much of the north American anti-oil environmentalist movement is actually Saudi propaganda
if you can successfully drive western oil companies out of business, all our oil will have to come from saudi, russia, venezuela, etc. countries where we have no ability to tax the profits of oil companies and redirect that money to something beneficial.
