Realistically, can anything be done without turning off electricity at the whole globe at once? "Going Amish", one might say? It's not just about burning coal or going green, we are also using resources which are not replenishable. Even if all cars become electric and we switch to nuclear power and start eating bugs, we'll keep producing plastic, chemical substances and so on.
