To me, this doesn't couch clean energy as an unstoppable force. It couches its supposed unstoppableness as very wishful thinking. Similar to The Secret. Manifest it in speech, and it will be so.
In the human and animal Kingdoms, there will never be an unstoppable force toward voluntary use of less energy. It will always be forced and eminently, inherently stoppable.
Market forces will always find a way to maximize energy use. In contrast, governments will always be transitory, unstable, corrupt, and, yes, will eventually take the easy route as well (as an experession of the physical laws of energy).
