The author is correct about the trends.  Not because of carbon, but because of simple economics.  Renewable energy is becoming cheaper than fossil.  However, I'm a bit dubious of some of the claims, such as "transportation will be largely electrified by 2030".  The author she cites uses a lot of "up to's" to bolster the claim that by 2030 gasoline will be obsolete and 80% of our highways will be unneeded.  

Frankly, those claims are about as valid as the nonsense the climate denialists spout about CO2 not causing warming.  I wish she hadn't written this.
