===General outline for climate change solutions===
'''[[Energy]] production & [[energy storage|storage]]'''
* Cover every [[rooftop solar|rooftop]] with [[solar panels]] that [[solar/challenge 1|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 [[Term:viable|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]].

'''[[Electric vehicles]]'''
* 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.

'''[[Heating]] & [[cooling]]'''
* 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...'' {{rn}}
