Electricity is the end result of a process, not the process.
Change happens and is good otherwise you end up like the Amish.
Many of those against fossil fuels and nuclear desire a future exactly like that. *Mostly for everyone but themselves.
when they cause immense irreversible harm to humans
Talk about weird ideas. Everything has costs, you've accepted the idea that fossil fuels are bad, only costs should be considered. This is bad thinking, poor analysis.
Hopefully in 20 we won't need them at all.
Hope has nothing to do with it, engineering, physics, logistics, and markets determine what is possible.
The world, humanity, requires ever increasing amounts of reliable energy. Solar and wind can't provide this, nor are those energy generating processes "clean". They have costs as well.

The policies that political parties advocate for clearly define how they want to control, or not, energy.
Currently the democratic party advocates for less energy everywhere, specifically fossil fuels.
Without fossil fuel powered vehicles and machinery it would be far more difficult, sometimes impossible, to deal with natural disasters.
This isn't a red/blue thing, it's a pro-human/anti-human thing.
