If the wind farms are on fire, that's problem too. If the solar farms are on fire, that's a problem too. You can play that card for any energy source. They all come from some place on earth that's potentially subject to some catastrophic disaster.I disagree- the energy source is incredibly important. If the Powder River Basin is on fire, it's going to be tough to get gas/oil/coal out of it. If the Middle East is consumed by mass migration out of uninhabitable areas it's tough to produce oil. If China is invading Russia to get access to water resources it's going to be tough to fuel home heating in Europe. Energy is the key to the whole thing.
We can talk about the logistics of each, of course (there's all sorts of factors there, for all these sources). As well as their consistency, dependability, scale, backups, etc. Those are all major issue for each in different ways.
