With a guaranteed annuity growing at 2% year over year, it's your local inflation that you should be worried about.
If your annuity is denominated in USD, and your local currency differs, you should also worry about the currency conversion rate.

viable low carbon energy source yet
Not limited to energy sources either: steel production requires carbon as part of the alloy.
In the production of cement, calciumcarbonate gets heated and emits co2.
Both of these products can not be made without the emission of co2, even when using 100% solar and wind energy
Why can't it be both?
It's not an unpopular opinion?
Do they fall at the same speed?
You should do linear regression in excel and call yourself a statistician, is the message, I guess.
