The transition to 100% renewable would be MORE damaging than status quo.

Well it's really not possible to ever even get there IMO at least not for a country that uses as much electricity as the U.S.

But if you're worried about things like emissions you definitely wouldn't try to get there too fast. If you had a goal of getting to say 80% green tech in the next 12 years here you'd have to have a huge run up in emissions over at least the first half of those 12 years to get you there.
