Even if we eliminate coal, there's still too many people and too much consumption.

Coal is extremely bad for CO2 emissions, and we already have options

I think it's a little late to be able to buy that kind of time. Maybe if that was implemented a decade ago.

It seems many of the options are still small scale experiments or face energy storage issues... or have social issues like nuclear.

Yes, a decade from now, we'll need an even bigger miracle.
