> cost $100 trillion (money which would be spent anyway on non-renewable energy infrastructure)

For every dollar diverted from non-renewable infrastructure spending, can you produce the same amount of energy? My guess is that it's not possible; certainly not without a lot of price disruptions and/or mass subsidies. But I do like the idea of savings that come from spending less on security.
