Outside of maybe petroleum industry lobbyists, I'm not sure anyone is


really "pushing" fossil fuels right now.

Most of the advanced countries on the planet are working toward reducing the burning of fossil fuels. Some faster than others. But just about everyone is marching in that direction.

It's just neither a cheap nor easy conversion to make, and it doesn't happen overnight. Or even over 50 years. We need to keep marching in that direction, but it sure isn't the answer to global political instability.

Besides, a lot of the greener energy technology relies on some exotic materials that China and/or Russia are the world's major sources for. Not burning fossil fuels may help with the climate, but it could very easily replace one political quagmire with another.
