First world nations will continue to use fossil fuels as long as it remains economical.
They will not give up a cheap source of energy for ‘the planet’ while their adversaries continue to use it.
To think otherwise is ignorant and foolish. What world do you live in where the US, Russia, and China forego even the slightest bit of economic progression (which leads to military progression)?
It’s both the cheap part and the “while their adversaries continue to do so” parts that are key. The price of solar and storage continue to fall and we need to make the true cost of carbon be reflected in the sale price on a global level. When that happens, we’ll be fine, for the most part.
