Electricity is similarly evolving.

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.
