...why we are not working as hard to eliminate fossil fuel sources as we are to introduce non-CO2 sources.

In order for a transition to occur, the previous condition must decrease while the new condition increases.

We are still spending massive amounts of money on fossil fuel subsidies.

We are still allowing new fossil fuel extraction plants and new fossil fuel energy generation plants to be planned and built.

If we don't create a vacuum that clean energy can fill, we won't be making any progress in the NEED for non-CO2 energy systems.
