It really really really needs to be both!
Unfortunately, most people have no clean options, whether they can afford them or not.
Especially in North America where Oil & Gas have used all the worst moves from the tobacco industry to guarantee they have a strangle hold on the majority of the entire economy.
So what are we going to do?

As of 08/31, Danish energy multi Ørsted, formerly Dansk Olie og Naturgas A/S, has shut down its last coal-fired plant. Ørsted’s entire energy generation will be essentially fossil-free. ‘We believe that we, as a society, must phase out the use of gas, oil, and coal as soon as possible.’

In a world of gloom a tiny glimmer of common sense.
UK quits treaty that lets fossil fuel firms sue governments over climate policies.
Britain joins France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands in withdrawing from charter that penalises shift to net zero.

“2023 smashes record for world’s hottest year by huge margin.
Rapid reduction in fossil fuel burning urgently needed to preserve liveable conditions, say scientists, as climate damage deepens.”

The failure of Cop28 to call for a phase-out of fossil fuels is “devastating” and “dangerous” given the urgent need for action to tackle the climate crisis, scientists have said.
One called it a “tragedy for the planet and our future” while another said it was the “dream outcome” for the fossil fuel industry.

Die Klimaschutzbremser haben nicht die geringste Ahnung wo wir hinsteuern! Oder sie wissen es und sind ethisch bankrott, skrupellos setzen sie den Zerstörungskurs fort. Ein beispielloses Vorgehen in der Geschichte der Menschheit! Kompletter Irrsinn!
Thanks Ozzy, this link worked for me:

Great article that lays bare the the cynical reality in the US, Canada, Australia, Norway and the UK.
So 7 major LNG export terminals built in the US and 24 more planned - locking in terminal climate change.
But what will it be used for, as renewable sources are cheaper, and the gap widening?
I wonder if Big Oil might be backing the Hydrogen hype? Perhaps they'd like to see LNG exported (with a lot escaping in transit) then the rest used to make Hydrogen? Those Hydrogen plants need double the LNG energy input to produce the Hydrogen. That'll make everything greener/greyer!
Oil, gas, and coal exports are not counted when countries tally their greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement. This allows wealthy nations to report progress on emissions reduction goals, while shipping their fossil fuels — and the pollution they produce — overseas.
