Saul Alinsky laid out how to get radical change, and the easiest way is to have your target audience ask for change.
We have now a barrage of media reports about how unbelievably bad things are, and guess what, here comes someone with a plan! A plan to save us all! Don't look to see what the plan actually is, it's change, and change will save us all!
The plan will, I suspect, involve more centralized government control over energy sources plus a hefty socialized “subsidy” to keep it all running. Oh, and sacrifice, for (most) all of us in the way of conservation, maybe even towns cutting stretlights off at night, higher electric rates, thermostat rules, and the like.
Go check out “Reveille for Radicals” and Rules for Radicals” from Alinsky, and some of the spin-off books.
