Very significant. Why?
"The peak for [fossil fuel] will come very early in the energy transition. You saw the same thing when we shifted from horses to cars after 1900. It tends to come when the new challenging tech is quite small – about 3-5% of total supply." ~Kingsmill Bondhttps://twitter.com/GregorMacdonald/status/1156623302271496192 …

Meanwhile, wind and solar are now on pace to reach about 3.65% of *total energy use from all sources* in the United States. That will sound silly small to most. But hey, that's what the utility industry probably thought when wind+solar hit 3.65% of electricity in 2012.
