There's still too much money to be made in fossil fuels to want to give it up any time soon. We'll burn that candle till the end IMO.
But I also agree that this is about controlling resources. Because who ever is left still holding those resources in the end will be in a greater position of leverage. Why burn ours when we can burn theirs up first?

What most people seem to forget is that our current oil industry started with a shortage of whale oil.
The instant some other form of energy becomes cheaper we will switch to that form of energy. No government programs, no tax incentives and so on will be needed.
