Take away subsidies for them and use that money to incentivize development of renewables and nuclear.
I'm sure it's already happening in places. Normally I am against intervention in the markets, but in this case I don't see how a major shift is going to take place without it when we've got decades more of cheap combustibles we can coast on.
