I'm wondering what the case would be if "green" had the same infrastructure as fossil. Meaning 1 for 1, world could flip the switch go green or fossil, which would dump more carbon (assuming carbon is the issue) into the biosphere. I cant see how green would continue to contribute to the issue once the infrastructure is in place.

It's what some of us here, who know the score, have been saying for years. "Green" energy pollutes far more than coal, oil or natural gas.

Depends on the energy source. If gen 4 nuclear becomes common, replacing gasoline burning cars with electric cars is far better on air quality.
