"What's wrong with solar, wind and basically everything that would solve the problem? - Power. Humanity would cut the strings attached to it, nobody wants that." This is completely wrong and conspiratorial. There is absolutely nothing anyone can do to 'stop' the proliferation of solar or wind technology - there are 165 nations on planet earth - almost all of which could stand to benefit from if those were real options. Do you really think that Egyptians, Jordanians and Lebanese enjoy living in poverty as their 'rich' Saudi and Libyan friends enjoy Oil, and don't put up solar panels because of 'American political pressure' or something? The reality is wind and solar are cost prohibitive - and in almost every case make no sense at all. In some very specific scenarios, they make sense. As grids, batteries, supporting technology become better - they've improved - but we're still a long, long way off from where they are rationally viable at any real price range. In fact, there is no horizon today for that to happen - we're still waiting for a breakthrough.
