Monumental Labs (www.monumentallabs.co) is looking to robotic stone carving factories. This might bring some of the beauty of ancient stone buildings into an affordable form for today's buildings.

In Spain, IBAVI built social housing from load‑bearing sandstone. Several of the projects I've managed to find are social housing, which suggests to me that the costs to build are not much higher (and possibly lower) than normal construction.

There is a whole neighbourhood in Paris made largely from limestone. However, there is still a lot of concrete here. And I'm not sure if it is post-tensioned. www.dezeen.com/2024/01/05/t...

Every single wind turbine on the planet? A 4-reactor CANDU would generate somewhere between 2.8GW and 4.8GW. Right now, at this moment, the UK is producing 10GW from wind. Just the UK, which is ranked 5th in wind. And they've had days where they hit over 20GW. You are over 20 years out of date.
