I don’t think anyone in the modern era asked for the energy system we have.

  IDK, it's pretty cool to have electricity, heating and whatnot

    I think the argument was against the significant environmental problems and the lobbying (e.g. against climate laws) coming from the big players in the energy industry, rather than against electricity and central heating. We can still have the latter without the former.

      But the dirty episode was required to reach this stage when we can move onto next thing. And some time later today's "clean" likely will be seen as dangerous in some way. Just like today's "dirty" didn't seem that dirty when it came out. E.g. cars helped to relieve cities from horse shit.
