Continuing with your not resorting to a "sky is falling" scenarios, I wish those who resist the change towards clean energy will stop claiming that the transition to it will necessitate a diminishing of our standard of life and/or a collapsing of the economy. If the transition is done progressively, then we will only need to get used to the changes progressively rather then suddenly in the events that global warming is real and/or that the effects of peak oil real their ugly necks.
As stated before, the research and deployment of the eventual clean energy infrastructure WILL create jobs, new, high tech jobs at that. It will create opportunities for new, visionary investors and inventors to make millions or billions instead of the same old oil tycoons who have been sharing the bounty that is oil revenus mostly among a small elite.
Unlike oil which requires large scale infrastructures (oil fields, massive ports to accomodate supertankers, supertankers, refineries, pipelines, deep sea oil rigs,etc), alternative energy sources can be deployed much nearer to the end consumer. Small communities, businesses, even individuals can set up wind or solar farms at whatever size is necessary for their needs. The best part is that the electricity losses due high voltage power lines is almost eliminated by producing where the need exists.
