If we cared at all about solving the problem, a lot more work would have been spent on developing hybrids/fuel cells, electric vehicles, electrolytic Hydrogen and renewable energy like solar.

We (chemists) can produce fossil fuels using renewable Hydrogen and a Carbon rich feedstock. Hell the nazis were doing it because of supply issues. Our excuse is that it is harder to do that than it is to drill for oil not that we cant do it.

We are limited by the amount of renewable energy which again, isnt being ramped up as fast as it could be and needs to be for lack of economic and political willpower.
