As such, if we do not consume the fossil fuels, the rest of the World will.
The same logic applies to solar and wind. I hope you're mistaken.
I hope that I am mistaken, too! Considering that one of the seminal papers on global warming was published in Science in May 1967 (five months prior to my birth) does not give me good hope that Western capitalism is going to address the crises that is ahead of us.
