Read Smil's book "How the World Really Works"

The commitment to fossil fuels is a) far greater than you can imagine and b) will not change anywhere in the near future. Bottom line: 'fossil' fuels are second only to nuclear energy in the amount of energy by volume. Nothing else is close. And we need vast amounts of energy just to grow enough to feed this planet's population let alone distribute it to where it needs to go.

So yeah, BP has got it right.
