The most difficult problems are likely to be political ones, to be honest, and everybody is at a disadvantage when considering political problems, since they are largely affected by irrational processes.

@Steve: The biggest problem, to quote John Michael Greer, is that the political will to transition to renewables has been MIA since the 1980s when the Reagan/Thatcher admins. turned their backs on them and encouraged a mass oil-guzzling spree . Nowadays, the transition only seems to be just restarting from the 70s movement, with projects like DESERTEC only focused on 1 type of renewable on a national or state-based scale; local grids have proven effective.
