Reality check. There are laws of economics that are as unchanging as laws of physics, like the concept of marginal utility.
As long as fossil fuels are significantly cheaper than solar or wind nrg, e.g., they will be used.
It is noble to advocate not using fossil fuels, but at this point in time, not realistic.
Remember the "energy crisis" during the Carter administration? Have we used less fossil fuels since then? Hell no.
