There are several ideas out there, but so long as we're not pricing fossil fuels for their true cost, solar still has an uphill battle, a battle which, BTW it is winning anyways.
Not every alternative will work everywhere, but at least one alternative will. And we have this thing called the "electricity grid", which, amazing as it may sounds, allows us to produce electricity in one place and transport it to another place.
Coal is dying, and it's never coming back. Even without the CO2 emissions, it's an expensive and dirty fuel source that is hazardous to mine, and expensive to mitigate the damage from.
Not decreasing CO2 emissions will fuck them over. Let's be clear here, most of those who suddenly have this great concern for the plight of the developing world when the topic of fossil fuel use reductions come up couldn't give a burning piece of shit about the fate of people in the developing world. It's all about trying to stave off the inevitable decline in the use of fossil fuels, and, presumably, the decline in returns from fossil fuel company stocks.
Nuclear reactors still require fuel, so have a significant disadvantage over energy sources like solar, tidal, and geothermal, none of which will run out for a few billion more years.
Meanwhile, the high arctic has been as warm as 30C above normal seasonal temperatures. You do understand, I trust, that whatever you think Trump's attributes are, overlordship of the laws of physics is not among them.
In reality, neither is economics. If he pursues his attacks on the automakers, he will end up severely fucking over domestic auto manufacturers. You have elected someone who, whatever his alleged business acumen, appears utterly ignorant of economics.
Are you seriously asserting that dung-burning in developing nations somehow produces more pollution and CO2 than burning coal?
Fuck me, the people who want to keep digging it out of the ground just keep reaching further and further and making ever more moronic claims to justify their position.
I've personally fired one asshole client who thought the money he paid my organization meant he somehow owned the staff. We gave him a refund for the services we had not delivered and sent him on his merry way, because what he really was was a pathetic prick with the patience of a three year old, and an infantile disposition to match. Yes, we lost some sales, but when the staff heard he was gone, it did more than a bonus would have done for morale.
The poster's lack of a well-defined sense of reality is the greater problem. The only other people I've seen with a bigger persecution complex than your modern day Alt-right type are the "War on Christmas" kooks you find hanging out in Evangelical or Conservative Catholic forums.
The problem is that it's not likely copyright will ever go away. For all intents and purposes copyright is being re-engineered as a perpetual entity, so that Walt Disney can still profit from Steamboat Mickey a million years from now.

The fact that the arctic has been as high as 30C above season norms somehow doesn't suggest to you that the problem is still here?

Fossil fuels are basically being subsidized by the future. We're passing off the costs to our children and grandchildren.
Solar doesn't lose that much efficiency at higher latitudes. "Work's best" isn't the same as "only place it works."

You help them by basically ending the use of coal. Then they have to go find something else to do.

Coal is dead.
If you valued privacy, you wouldn't be using Windows 10 at all.
Ah I see, so it isn't the shitty substandard browsers that Microsoft distributes with their newest OS, somehow it's users' faults.
Ah, you mean the fake tweets that got Milo kicked of Twitter
It was a shitty movie, but that was no excuse for the way Leslie Jones was treated by Milo and his alt-right army of online goons.
Translation: I just made the claim up

By "left wing distortion" you mean science books that discuss evolution and a 4.5 billion years old earth as facts.
You've made a claim for which you've provided no evidence whatsoever, and yet still manage to come out with this sort of petulent response.
In Trumpmerica you won't need science. Science is evil and makes people feel bad.

COM is just an implementation of CORBA. Let's give credit where credit is due.
I can't even prove with 100 accuracy that you're not a child molester. I'd better earn your neighbors just in case.
The Year of the Windows Smartphone, eh?
