Given how the world has gotten hotter adding solar to provide partial shading often improves several types of agriculture.

Also a bunch of transportation energy is used for shipping fossil fuels around, so there's the potential for a big drop in total energy use by eliminating fossil fuel use.
We can't keep increasing energy use forever, but it's likely possible to generate something close to current use with renewable sources.
