Would that be a showstopper? Then we would just produce less stuff when energy is expensive, and more when it is cheap. We'd build houses to keep a pleasant temperature for longer. We'd combine local energy generation with a strong grid to transport energy over longer distances.
Stuff will become more expensive, economic activity might be somewhat dampened, but that might be offset by the cheapness of wind and solar, and by the fact that building the new infrastructure will create a lot of growth. And in the end, it will literally save the planet. I'd choose a bit slower economic activity over accelerating climate change any time.
