Capitalism would need to radically transformed in such a way that it would functionally be something different, and very few governments will be willing to do this.
If I may, this is a bit of Socioeconomic (The Science) Speculative Fiction, but there is a way that Could, theoretically be supported by the Industrialized nations. (The non-industrialized ones need not participate.)
An Energy Economy. One of the factors that drives this, ultimately to the Critical Point where the cost of extracting the remaining mineral reserves (By processes like Frakking) meets the profits to be gained by selling them to be burned. Basically, Energy<Money. Where "Energy" is defined by "Energy Companies" which buy up more efficient renewable technologies to prevent them from competing with what they have. You can see this in the Automotive Industry. For example, it's not technically legal to produce a Rotary Engine car, in America, because Chrystler bought the Patent Rights for the Wankel, and any other Rotary Engine vehicles, in the US. You can buy a Mazda RS-8, because that's Japanese, but you can't make one here, without paying Royalties to Chrystler/Mopar et-al, which they won't grant without driving the price up to make them unaffordable.
Also, why the first American Electric Vehicle was called the Impact. So they could say "We tried," and the only affordable electric cars are the likes of the Nissan Leaf. Same with the Infrastructure, there's no Charging stations, and behold there's no Capacitance fast-charging technologies under development, nor even being Researched (Even though I can draw you a schematic circuit, to show you how to rapid-discharge a capacitor into an onboard Inducter, and for all intents and purposes fully charge one, Instantly. The Capacitor in the Charging Station would take a while to charge up, between vehicles.) Ever fatal flaw, perceived to be intrinsic to electric car technology, is kept that way, by the Big 3 buying up patents, and supressing industries, basically so they don't have to re-tool and make something else.
That's why we still have reciprcating piston internal combustion engines in our Hybrids. That's an Electrical motor we can use, because instead of a large enough Battery, it's hooked up to a Gas Tank, and a half ton engine block. As long as the Frankenmotor burns it marginally more efficiently, we continue burning Fossil Fuels. More efficiently.
If we have an Energy Economy, the Energy=Money. Saving Money=Saving Energy, and quite soon, these Industry Inertia standards like Economies of Scale can no longer overshadow the truth of Free Energy. There's another problem, you know the Power Company? They sell you Energy, for Power. The government subsidizes this, so they can maintain a nationwide Power grid, and sell Security by making us More Vulnerable to the EMPs of a Nuclear attack (Solar storm, Geomagnetic polar shift...)
When honestly, we're surrounded by Energy. it's been marketed as Renuable Energy, Clean Energy, Green Energy, I don't know if you've had someone knock on your door offering Wind Energy or not, but those people who've asked you if you pay the Electric Bills, with clipboards, and 2 button shirts with neat logos on the breast? They're there to sell you clean, grean not mean energy from the nearest Wind Farm, and tell you that the money flowing out your Wired with every coulumb of electrons (Per second. incidentally, the Electrons flow the other way. Basically because Franklin guessed wrong, and by the time anyone noticed, the international standards for +, and - were already set. Why the electron has a "Negative" charge, and the Antimater particle is called a "Positron" when it's prefectly arbitrary.)
Basically, everyone could produce the power we need for our homes, anywhere. Off the grid. The grid itself is an artifact of the pissing match between Edison, and tesla over a century ago. Just like we're using the "Suck Squeeze Bang, and Blow" from Henry Ford, their drinking buddy. (Not to mention Marconi's at the same table.) Now, the sales pitch is "Solar Energy." With the exception of Geothermal, and Nuclear, ALL of our energy is Solar. Wind, Hydro-electric, Rain, burning wood in a camp fire, even Petroleum, and Coal was sequestored from Photosynthesis as recently as the Pleistecine. We have energy, falling on us, constantly, with enough Rads to give you Skin Cancer, and yet in this enlightened age, we have phrases like "Off the Grid" because we all grew up On the Grid.
It's protected by the government, as critical as the Big 3 (Obama bailed out to protect our Economy) and the Federal Reserve System. We the people could do it, fo an average o about $7-8,000.00 per household, that would pay for itself in a few years of Utility bills. I know, because I've done it, multiple times, for a living in New Mexico. (Across the gorge Bridge you see in all those movies, on the mesa west of Taos.)
Or, you know. keep buying into all that, top off your tanks, and pay your electric bills. Never mind the fact that they're literally called The Power Companies.
