It's not really a question of getting on board, its a question of continuous improvement.
As the environmental cost and human costs of things like coal and oil are fully applied to the equation they are already becoming less viable. And burning fossil fuels as an industry is already vary developed and efficient. As producing/consuming engery in other ways becomes more efficient they will just become more attractive.
Like I said this is not some switch you flip, you don't just tell people to do it because its the right thing to do. You invest the time and energy to make alternative options the most viable. I also think diversified power generation is in our future.
If we knew how a wide scale more sustainable grid would look we wouldn't need the R&D.
