The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

The unfortunate paradox is that to build the infrastructure needed to replace our energy consumption with clean sources and the new technology  to utilise this would burn so much fossil fuel  that we would rapidly trip the remaining tipping points that will result in existential climate change. The only way that change in energy source could be  achieved is by drastically cutting our consumption and using a large, but decreasing, proportion of that energy to build  the new, clean energy supply and use infrastructure. I'm afraid its short term pain to achieve long term gain.
