> Fossil production and consumption is still increasing. Are you talking worldwide? Or in the US? Because in the US and many other advanced economies total energy consumption is still increasing, but the total amount from fossil fuels is shrinking. At a certain point it is going to no longer make economic sense to continue to build new fossil fuel based energy production (it already doesn't if externalities are accounted for). It is a big hill to climb, but as the saying goes, "people vote with their wallets". Economic forces are pretty hard to resist.
