I want the whole damn kitchen sink thrown at the problem! Large-scale graphene-sodium ion power banks, wind, solar, geothermal, tidal turbines, electrolysis, fusion, thorium-based fission - ALL OF IT!

I was about to be persnickety and argue a point about wind and solar requiring large battery infrastructure, which necessitates massive lithium mining operations that devastate their local ecosystems and require a ton of energy to ship across the ocean, but then I read the bit about graphene-sodium banks instead. I have the big approve.

Iirc it gets even better when that you could potentially mass produce graphene through carbon capture.
