I've yet to see a demonstrable green substitute for fossil fuels. The only viable choice is nuclear and that is on the back burner thanks to the environmental left. Solar panels, wind turbines, wave machines, geothermal all have limits and that's not even considering their cost effectiveness at delivering energy. The environmental costs of some of these supposed green technologies is perhaps worse than fossil fuel use. Big oil and large corporations would probably be the innovators in any change to energy alternatives, thus the environmentalists will still have ExxonMobil to bash.
Global Warming, Global Change was overly hyped by those that sought monetary advantage from its acceptance. Al Gore, green companies, Third World countries, and even the supposed objective scientists all had an interest to spread the gospel of global warming. Regardless of whether or not global warming is a long term threat, these groups sought to, and did, benefit in the short term. Global Warming morphed into a movement with almost religious overtones in its zeal and purported solutions to evil man's destruction of the environment.
