Point being that we don’t have a replacement for fossil fuels, yet.

Using fossil fuels to build and deploy things that can sustainably replace the need for using more fossil fuels sounds like the *only* smart thing we should be doing with them.

Sure. I don't disagree with that strategy. But it will require discipline and stability so we don't run out of fossil fuels before fully replacing it with solar power.
