This relies on fudging the distinction between "reserves" and "resources". The actual existing quantity of oil and gas in the earth is fixed, unknown but estimated. As it's surveyed and deemed economically recoverable it's moved into the "reserves" category.

This doesn't take into account "unburnable" fossil fuels which can be extracted at the cost of pushing us over the "catastrophic" IPCC predictions.

"We envisage increasing competition between energy resources," he said. "This will likely result in increased competition in the energy market and disruption for the incumbent." - speaking of clean energy sources.

Making the scenario competitive is the only way indeed, responsibility assignation like Kyoto protocol are meh.

Good will doesn't seem to triumph over greed very often. It's very fortunate for us all that the cost of solar and lithium-ion batteries keep decreasing.

what a load of bullshit.
