It all starts with getting non-trivial amount of cash. That is not an option for most people on this planet. Not even for everyone in first world countries. Hence the claimed “people just love to burn fossiles” is plain wrong.

So make the choice to avoid fossil fuels with every new appliance, car, power plant, and piece of equipment. You’re spending the money anyways.

I think you do not understand. If you have no money, you don’t buy new stuff. Especially not a new car. You buy whatever is affordable.

Yes, but a chunk of plant and equipment is replaced every year. If less oil is available, the people making that set of decisions change what they do.
