You must find a viable replacement for fossil fuels before eliminating them or taxing them to death. Solar and wind alone are not a viable replacement at that scale.
But how are they going to be developed?
We need to create economic incentives to encourage investment in the development of alternatives, and the only efficient way to do that is through higher taxes on carbon emissions. The people who think fusion is going to save us are mostly the same ones who don't want the government to distort markets, yet somehow expect the government to magically produce viable. It's laughable.
