Bio-energy and solar photovoltaic solutions (including space - based systems) are feasible and probably competitively scalable to the level needed; fusion may also be but a practical reactor is still decades away.

With apologies to my high - energy physics colleagues and to NASA, basic natural systems monitoring is much less expensive than high - energy colliders, fusion reactor research or manned Mars missions, but will help to provide better understanding of the lesser known parts of climate and hydrologic systems (aerosols, clouds, large - scale climate connections, S. Hemisphere data, etc).
