What about the benefits of fossil fuels?

Here’s a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation...
125 years of FF use.
Average life expectancy rose by 25, maybe 30 years because of technology using FF.
Average of 125 million Americans during that 125 years.

125 * 25 * 125,000,000 = 390,625,000,000 person-years of happy, productive life that would not have happened before FF.

That is almost 400 BILLION person-years of life people were blessed with by using FF.

There’s NO calculation that shows any sort of benefit like that deriving from stopping FF use.
