Consumerism is the problem. If fossil fuels were used on necessities sure. Single use plastics, individually packaged consumables, planned obsolescence are examples of things that are not necessary. These examples have all to do with shareholder value.

Consumerism is not the problem. Human beings don't stop wanting to improve their lives once they have the bare necessities and there is nothing wrong with this.

We can have our cake and eat it, we just need to transition to cleaner forms of energy. Which we are doing.

No, just cleaner energy is not enough.
