Energy production & storage

Cover every rooftop with solar panels that aren't mineral intensive.
- Grid energy storage should be mostly iron redox flow batteries and sodium-ion batteries.
Put wind turbines on crop land, especially land close to people or industries.
- Use them to produce hydrogen gas as the main energy storage.
Use hydro and geothermal wherever they are geographically viable (which isn't most parts of the world).
Use nuclear energy if there are no other options. Keep this uncommon, because uranium-235 is scarce. Also work on developing safe breeder reactors.

Most should be short-range EVs that use sodium-ion batteries or occasionally lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Avoid using cobalt-intensive lithium-ion batteries for anything more than small electronics.
Promote walkability and public transit to reduce the total amount of vehicles needed.

Heat buildings by burning hydrogen gas, whenever possible.
Add insulation to homes, whenever it saves more energy than it costs.
Rooftop photovoltaics can power heaters or heat pumps / air conditioning
Or in some cases, rooftop panels could be a mix of photovoltaics and solar thermal panels.

Major challenges to solve before this can work:

Solar/challenge 1: Solar panels that are less mineral-intensive, less energy-intensive to manufacture, and fully recyclable.
Viable iron redox flow batteries
There are probably more challenges to add to this list... ^{[RESEARCH needed]}
