From our Prime Minister:

 

 

So even though we run out of fossil fuels... we will still be living in the "carbon age?"  I would like to know when the "Green age" will begin.  In my opinion, the government should take a hard stance on industry even if it affects the economy and add support where needed by helping workers find jobs, creating opportunities in the "green energy" sector and environmentally friendly industries.  No matter what, industry will have to take a hit for the planet, it's inevitable.
