PS unlike yourself I am not a scientist
So am forced when asked such a question to find out what they say on the subject
Again, apparently, unlike you I believe in science and what they tell us
For a few minutes think, if another source of power was found over night, say we no longer needed coal, in fact could not sell it
What if its emergence even threatened oil
Is there any chance governments/investors/owners of fossil fuels would try to stop its use
Could they start a campaign to lie about it, brand it fraud, use those who fall for that lie to further protect all the existing big money that could be lost over night

All right, so what did you find out from the scientists about my questions, nothing because they don't know the answers especially to the first two questions.

Simple first if you check the big oil companies for some time now have been diversifying into other things one of them is carbon capture schemes.

Second the coal industry in 2017 $40.6 Billion exported, it would take time but they would find other uses and find ways to make it more environmentally friendly.

Renewable energy will not be reliable and cheap without the massive subsidies for some time.

Belly- My previous comment wasn't targeted at Muslims specifically but at Australia's population strategy vs China's population strategy.
