So, there are ENOUGH materials under the ground to achieve a 100% energy transition but there is not enough infrastructure yet to obtain it ........ Should we aim to this? Circular economy means reducing extracting materias, this means not only fossil fuels, but minerales too. A 100% renewable energy transition will not be a CIRCULAR ENERGY TRANSITION. For circularity we need to insist on energy efficiency, heat pumps, modern nuclear with uranium recycling, reduce our energy intensity (user's behaviour, economy behaviour)
