    Increased energy demand will accompany the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, but if this recovery is met by hydrocarbons, the subsequent acceleration of climate change and accompanying domestic, international, and migration conflicts will dwarf the damage caused by COVID-19. This paper presents a means by which development of renewable energy systems can meet energy and employment needs and be financed through investments by hydrocarbon companies in lieu of carbon taxes and long-term visionary governments.  The oceans figure prominently in sustainably emerging and setting a course to a bright future for all.  Specific technology examples are provided with suggestions for short- and long-term development projects and strategies.
