Good point ZenDog. I will write more on this in coming months, but I think community action against fossil fuels is a crucial part of the puzzle and the more the better - it creates higher costs for them and makes them less competitive.

Of course tipping points are defined by the person calling them ! Fossil fuels are still expanding in many markets as you point out. But I think the tide has turned overall (for example huge collapse in forecast growth of coal use in developing countries) See here http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/03/20/energy-coal-prices-idINL6N0MH30Y20140320
