reading and number crunching, I'm 100% converted...and you can feel free to call me whatever you please...not like that hasn't happened already ;-). I've attached what I consider an excellent (and free) book on the subject "Sustainable Energy, Without The Hot Air", by David J.C. MacKay...you may recall I've done that more than once before. In the early part Dr. MacKay gives his rationale(s) for getting on board with CC...there's a lot to digest...I'd suggest you and others bookmark it for reference at your convenience...but for the moment, go straight to the "Motivations" section to understand why CC is real.
Getting unanimity on this issue is highly unlikely, but leadership will have to navigate a path to the future in spite of those who can't or won't understand what's happening. You are correct in that fossil fuels will be prevalent in any transition plan (e.g. jet transport...plastics products...etc.), but it's abundantly clear that some changes will be coming fairly quickly...e.g. many more EVs and lots of new charging stations. That demand surge will need to be followed with "Supply" solutions (Electrical Power Generation) that will not be fossil fuel based...in the short term, it's fairly easy to install wind and solar facilities that won't have to be highly reliable, but before too long (I"m guessing, 10 years) we'll need to be breaking ground on new Gen-IV reactors (including "Re-cycling" for current waste in storage).
That's enough for the moment, but these changes are indeed coming...best to adapt as quickly as possible.
