<1) If you want the standard of living you have now -- we will be "burning stuff" for years>

Of course. That's why, as stated, the normal situation is that nothing is done till the (actually) WORST possible time. When you HAVE TO... ie that particular system has finally become overwhelmed and continuation of current system is untenable.

<2) the implication that supra-market powers, i.e. governments will do better looking out for the long term is pure BS>

So market powers were better than "supra-market" powers in cleaning up chemical pollution of the water ways or "brown outs" back in the day...??

To be honest I don't think there is even a real separation. People voting to get their representatives stop pollution IS the market.

I said "long term" did I not? Do you consider nuclear fission to be burning things? I don't, unless there's a meltdown. Nor solar, nor wind. That still leaves lots of combustion and will for a while. But not forever, no matter what source you're talking about.
