It doesn't matter or effect what we should be doing one bit.  Running
out of cheap energy is far more serious than climate.  It will hit
sooner and cause more problems, including human deaths, than the worse
climate predictions.

What we need is at least one really cheap and abundant source of
energy.  It can't be carbon based because there isn't enough left that
can be obtained at a low enough price.  Ground solar and wind will not
do it because there is no apparent way to get the cost down low
enough.

Here is a dumbed down version of my thoughts on how to solve the problem.
