This is not a new problem, and there is no silver bullet that will solve it. Just a long sequence of incremental improvements that will make the difference over decades.
In the Nordics, the solution is primarily hydro + wind + nuclear, with cogeneration from district heating and industrial processes. Old-style power plants that generate electricity by burning fuels are largely obsolete, and the cogeneration plants are also phasing out fossil fuels. The solution is within reach, but it took decades to get there.
Other regions will need other solutions.
