We made a commitment to use renewable electric power years ago, but I am persuaded that, unless we can speed up the process of weaning ourselves off "fossil" fuels, we, as a species, are well and truly fucked.

As much as I hate to say it, I think we won't make it. The world economy is premised on continual economic growth. Unless we can develop a low/zero growth alternative, we as a species, are well and truly fucked.

For an alternative, but very difficult, approach see Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics. https://www.amazon.com/Doughnut-Econ.../dp/1603586741
