Climate and energy policies are well connected — reducing oil depletion and dependency should be achieved through deploying renewable sources and in effect will bring reducing of carbon dioxide — thus what climate policies were (yet) not able to bring, peak oil and high oil prices (however with more negative impacts, like social unrest and geo - political instability) certainly will.
