It is a positive approach.

Irrespective of climate change, non-renewable fuels will eventually run out because they are, of course, non-renewable.
By focusing on how the world would be powered then we get a target to work towards.

I mean, why not?
It is not too far in the future. If we can't get there in our lives, we will in our kids lives.

There's a lot we can do if you get creative.

We are saving money for my son's high school. He will likely need special care, it can easily run into 6 digits. We may have to move house.
I wanted solar panels on the house but why invest if we have to move within a year? We would lose part of that investment. We might need the money even if we don't move.

But I transferred some of our savings to green investments. I'll diversify to reduce the risk, but the yield has been positive so far; especially my handful of TSLA doubled, that's encouraging.
While this does not lower my own power usage it does some good elsewhere.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
