This fails a basic sanity check. We need X amount of energy per year and increasing. Energy = money = health and well being, so this has to continue and quick

This fails a basic sanity check. We need X amount of energy per year and increasing. Energy = money = health and well being, so this has to continue and quicker. Morally the worlds poor deserve this. If you take away cheap energy people will spend more money and effort on more expensive energy sources. This might include more environmental solutions but will mostly be dirtier fossil fuels. No one likes energy dependence and cheap cleaner solutions are what almost everyone wants. It'll happen as technology matures enough to allow it to happen. Full steam ahead is the best and moral solution. As is pointed out in other comments the cost alone to even make a dent is conveniently not mentioned anywhere. It'd be trillions to do nothing but keep something in the ground. We need to move forward.
