Green power generation does not have to be uneconomical, and it is capable of generating baseload power. Just look at France, who have quite cheap electricity and generate so much that they are the world's largest exporter of electricity. And they achieve this with very low CO2 emissions, by generating about 80% of their power through nuclear fission.

Consider the following;
Peak crude oil 2006 (IEA)
Peak crude oil plus all liquids 2008 (IEA & others)
Australia produces 45% of our oil usage.
Two refineries recently closed.
All petrol now imported, presume refineries producing diesel, bunker fuel etc.
Peak worldwide coal 2025.
Lifetime of existing car fleet 10 plus years.
Transition to electric cars & public transport 20 plus years.
Biofuels need lots of land, fuel and fertilisers.

The big worry is that there might not be the finance to do all the
following programs due to the world economy entering the zero growth era.
If you don't believe that just watch the European growth figures.

The authors ten year transition to zero carbon is just plain nonsense.
However if the following steps were taken we might just save our
economy from collapse.

Crash program for hot rocks power generation.
Ban export of natural gas. Less coal seam wells needed & transition fuel available.
Examine partial export ban of coal. Needed if transition extended.
Initial subsidy of electric cars to speed transition.
Nuclear a good solution, but very long term solution for time we don't have.

Geology does not negotiate.
