Actually, almost entirely. Just one little niggle. As we keep putting off doing the right thing, we keep using more oil and gas, we keep having our collective noses rubbed into the real costs of using oil and gas, both monetary and ecological. And so the trade-off keeps moving in the direction of cost parity, and the promised land of a cost-neutral switch. Note that that switch will occur at a higher cost per unit of energy than we pay today - it's just that both clean and dirty energy will converge. Agreed – mostly. Actually, almost entirely.
