Magic!

You should get to work and start casting some magical spells to give us your fantasy world.  How about some burning bushes?

You act like we don't have alternative forms of gathering energy. What are you going on about?

So why hasn't someone solved the problem?

Special interest groups. Same reason the status quo stays for anything, despite new better ways coming along. Why are we doing fracking, despite obvious downsides? Because special interest want us to keep using oil. Even if it means drilling deep enough that you cause earthquakes, and ruin the water supply, just to get dirty oil.

The long-term decline of coal is not news.

How will you replace 600 coal power plants?


We're already replacing them, and have been for years, mainly because coal is one of the most environmentally damaging and obsolete forms of energy still in use. There are almost 8,000 power plants in America, and only about 600 of them (a little less, actually) are still burning coal. Why do you suppose that is?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
