You are describing a scenario that even a hardened dictator would find difficult to successfully implement.
Im not disputing how the fossil fuel energy industry manipulated the system in their favor. If sensible plans can be formulated that satisfies the needs of majority (not just you and three of your friends), they can be translated into action if we have leaders in government who value public good over their personal greed. If and when these things happen, it will still take at least a generation of time.
I am not an optimistic person, so I fear you may be right. The consequences of waiting at least another generation, however, are potentially terminal.
