Honestly I want to agree with you soooooo bad, really. I just can't hide from the horrible truth of reality. Dammed if we do dammed if we don't.

However there is one caveat to all this, if we do decide to "just stop oil" and you do all die because of lack of infrastructure then the planet will still carry one and the few that did survive (all the rich and hardy) can carry on nicely so you better have a plan for that.

If we go full throttle and no surrender in the fossil fuels then it's the same thing planet survives but probably fewer survivors and take longer to recover .

There is a middle ground to all of this though.
