A lot of replies to this comment are saying a version of "how is solar/wind/etc a trick?"
And the answer is that no, they are not a trick...they legitimately produce energy.
But the goal isn't "make more clean energy", the goal is "keep coal and oil and gas underground"!
And yet coal(!!) production is at basically all time highs, with oil not far behind.
Unless we start making oil, coal and gas artificially expensive to produce, "clean" sources just add to global energy usage, instead of displacing it.
