I imagine in the future one or other approach will "win". Or maybe both will survive (just like we have petrol and diesel now.)
Meanwhile, while oil proponents keep telling us its impossible to wean ourselves off of gas, small things (like this) keep happening anyway. While coal keep telling us solar doesn't work, we're on track to pass a thousand gigawatts of installed solar power towards the end of this year. (As a reference, a power station is typically in the 1gw to 10gw range, with the median on the lower side).
So go on, keep telling us its impossible, we'll just keep doing it anyway.
