Okay, by your same argument. I work in the oil and gas sector, where I live all jobs that pay a living wage are in the resource sector, most of those are the fossil fuel extraction and processing jobs. I work construction, I build processing plants for oil and gas. I was born into this, therefore I have no choice.
Except I don't believe this, I am an adult and I do have a choice. I choose to work in the oil and gas industry because it allows me to live the lifestyle I want to live. I understand that I only have a job because there is a market for the products we produce. If I were willing to make a lifestyle change I could go install solar panels, or wind turbines, or wood stoves. But I don't want to.
Same with many others, they choose to live in the suburbs and commute with a large SUV or pickup everyday, or have oversized house that require immense amounts of energy for heating and cooling. The Amish manage to survive quite fine with significantly less energy consumption than the average American.
The Tobacco industry is probably the best example of what I'm trying to show you. Look at the billions in lawsuits and fines and increased regulation. What convinced people to stop smoking? Education, you're not going to stop the use of fossil fuels by targeting the producers, you need to educate the consumers. This needs to come in tandem with innovation, incentivize the development of alternatives while at the same time educating the consumer on these new alternative to allow them to make better purchasing decisions.
