This is a chicken and egg problem.
How do you break the stranglehold of probably 30-50% of the economy being closely tied or part of oil and gas and the automotive industries?
"The market" might solve this problem in 200 years, when Earth would look like Mercury.

If they would be, at least 20% (if not 40%) of this planet would be riding bikes to most places they go to. They don't, and they frequently campaign against improvements to bike infrastructure. We're all going to burn at this rate.
