"There is only a finite amount of fossil fuels and one day, whether it be 50 years from now or 150, we are going to run out."<br> <br> No, it won't just happen on any given day. Instead, as fossil fuels become harder to reach, supply-and-demand will drive the price up. This has the side effect of making alternatives like solar power look viable. People will start to shift to them, without outright converting 100% to them. As prices in fossil fuel continue to rise, ability to develop economies of scale in new options will grow, and we will be able to gradually migrate to something more sustainable.<br> <br> That is the free market picking winners and losers. However, when the government steps in, picks winners and losers, EVERYTHING gets politicized. After all, politicians are really only vying to get re-elected.
