We have an agreement.
Until alternative energy is able to catch up on price and on convenience, do not expect the use of fossil fuels will slow down. This is the situation in US. It is the same situation in China and in India.
For example, I am seriously consider to install some solar panels at home. This is so simply because the electricity cost is getting significantly high.
The only thing I would add is that *if* we built Molten Salt/Thorium reactors, even those solar panels might not be necessary or preferable. As long as the energy that we're using isn't dumping toxic chemicals into the environment, it's fine. Solar energy is great, but as you note, there's an expense/benefit cost issue to consider. I suspect that Thorium reactors would be more cost effective over the long haul, and you and I wouldn't have to personally shoulder the upfront costs, and long term costs of installing solar panels.
