It pollutes doesn't even remotely imply its doomed.

As for "not sustainable". That's true in a general sense, but in a general sense nothing is sustainable. The sun itself won't last forever. Fossil fuels are sustainable for a long time in every day terms (if only a miniscule fraction of the lifetime of the sun).

None of which has anything much to do with "Electrons from PV's and wind power will dominate electrical power generation on the planet in less then 30 years." or my "not a chance" reply, unless your claiming that fossil fuels can't be sustained for 30 years which is silly.

Not only are fossil fuels not "doomed within 30 years", but also solar and wind won't be able to cover electricity needs within 30 years (let alone doing that and also replacing a very significant fraction of non-electrical energy use during that time frame)
