My point was largely of scale (and hidden dependence on oil). I really can’t recommend the book enough…

I once thought exactly like you; I encourage you and others to read How the World Really Works: The Science Behind How We Got Here And Where We’re Going By Vaclav Smil. In short, the modern world is massively oil dependent and the best green intentions don’t scale anytime quickly. To be clear, he’s not anti green solutions, there are just so many issues of scale that aren’t talked about in the normal discourse. He lays it out plainly and better than I ever could.
