It's been proven over and over there is no way to power society with out carbon fuel.

But I'm fairly certain the powers in charge have zero interest in saving the world. Otherwise they would be replacing coal fired power plants with nuclear power stations and nuclear fuel recycling.
Not forcing the proletariat to use a little less.

The believers think that the answer to saving the world lies in big government forcing change at the bottom.
That's how a fascist or communist accomplishes things and it usually never works.
