Michigan's "Tim" who declares himself "troll" says: To completely replace fossil fuels with any other energy source, we'd have to ramp up mining, replace giant fleets of machines, and rebuild a massive amount of infrastructure, not to mention inevitable changes to how we live.  Doing that will (A) burn a bunch of carbon in the short run, (B) create new waste problems in the long run, (C) take too much time, (D) be very expensive, (E) put us in greater danger of crossing other planetary boundaries, and (F) cause social backlash that threatens political institutions.  And that's just in the West.
