6. I kinda doubt that
The more "alternative" energy we have, the more energy we will use in total. That's been proven too many times. There is even an economic law named after the first scholar to deeply research this effect. (The name of whom I have forgotten.)

The only things that will change our consumption habits are a) radical changes in technology; b) force of law and/or economics, or c) economic collapse.

We still have a choice, but we're squandering time.
