I find a more typical response these days is:
"We have the technology already! We could be running everything on wind and solar power if it wasn't for Big Oil suppressing the technology and buying politicians."
I'm all for alternatives to fossil fuels. But we're still going to be using them 30 years from now, so let's look at the economic realities around a practical transition, instead of demonizing an entire industry and getting hysterical about conspiracy theories and DOOM DOOM DOOM.
