Massive mobilization to deploy a low carbon renewable infrastructure on a scale of what took place in WWII would largely be able to move us off of carbon within 10 years.

And it would be different from the experience of France in that the declining costs of renewables would produce an energy supply no more expensive (arguably less expensive) than what prevails today.
