If we truly decide to quit fossil fuels we have to do just that. Quit fossil fuels.

Magical accounting schemes and energy storage systems will not save the world.

Mud stoves will not save the world.

As the article describes, every human would like to have a cooker that fits on a kitchen counter, one they can turn on and off by twisting a knob or pushing a few buttons.

Every human would like indoor plumbing and clean water flowing from a tap.

How do we create a world where everyone enjoys these modern necessities with minimal disruptions to what little remains of the natural environment?
