   Why should I be afraid? Renewable energy got cheaper than energy   
   generated by burning fossil carbon about fifteen years ago, and the   
   process of switching our civilisation to relying on renewable energy is   
   well under way. Clowns like Trump are slowing down the changeover, and   
   the fossil carbon extraction business is fighting a rear-guard action   
   with lots of propaganda aimed at gullible twits like you, but the   
   economics are obvious enough to make it a futile exercise.

   Why do you want to pay more for your power?   
      
   In any event it wouldn't be a wise move. In about 60,000 years we are   
   due for another ice age, and saving a strategic reserve of fossil carbon   
   so that we can use it stop it happening would be a sensible precaution,   
   not that you and Cursitor Doom have got enough sense to realise this.
