Increased energy efficiency in residential, industrial and commercial buildings, lower demand for energy in transportation due to the rise of electric and autonomous vehicles and ride sharing as well as falling costs and greater penetration of renewables is transforming the way we consume energy.

short answer A bad idea, since (i) they produce CO2 (partly responsible for the rise in global warming), (ii) there is a limited amount of fossil fuel from which we make valuable materials such as lubricants and plastics, (iii) fossil fuel resources are finite, so burning them means we are consuming a resource we can never replace, and (iv) we can actually build new industries and create many new jobs developing renewable sources of energy instead of burning fossil fuels.

This is because fossil fuel prices have been steadily rising but after the infrastructure is built prices would begin to fall for renewable energy due to the fact that raw materials are free.
