There is no silver bullet solution to the building global energy crisis. Yes, we need to phase out the use of fossil fuels, otherwise global warming will rapidly make vast tracts of our planet virtually uninhabitable. We also need to phase out Nuclear Fission, an energy source which produces a waste product which is not only fatal to all life forms, but which will last for millennia. Its on-going "safe" storage is a poisonous legacy which generations of our descendants have been condemned to live, or perhaps even die with. Safety issues? Fukushima, Chernobyl... where next? So we need to focus on a combination of alternative power sources.. solar, wind, tidal.. yes, all of these have their own issues, but any negative impact on Mother earth will be a fraction of what we routinely produce now. Bottom line for me.. I fear that we may have already left this too late. I have not been impressed by the rhetoric from the various UN Climate Conferences, or even from the "worthy" aims of the Paris agreement. Plenty of talking the talk, but very little walking the walk..
