Summing up opposition to fossil fuels as being because of
> ideological reasons
Is so reductive that it is dishonest.
I don’t know if you’re downplaying or denying the consequences of human induced climate change, but we are folly to ignore the destruction that it will cause.
Leading off a post by assuming ideology a declaration that there are some people who you see as unworthy of making a contribution and should not participate. It is not curious, it shuts down discourse, and it makes it hard for others to understand the point you’re making and why your believe what you believe.

That said, there's a fairly large degrowth faction who are very underrepresented in debate/discussion forums like this who would genuinely want to reduce energy consumption and fossil fuel consumption even if they didn't cause climate change. I encounter them a fair bit in the real world.
