“Capping off those will destroy a very fascinating ecosystem.”
The “save our ecosystem” stuff is a bit overdone. These volcanic rifts that pour magma up into the ocean floor covers hundreds of thousands of miles, including active volcanoes as big as you can find in Hawaii. The area “disturbed” would amount to about 0.00001% of this ecosystem. I think a few crabs and worms would not be missed considering that there would still be millions undisturbed.
The world consumes about 85 million barrels of oil a day.
For the moment let’s set aside the amount of coal and natural gas we are consuming and just stick with oil.
I don’t have the numbers but maybe you do. What would be the surface area of the solar panels needed to produce that much energy-?
I am not being stubborn, I truly want you to convince me that things are ok and I just need to chill out. That is what I am hoping you can do.

ok...maybe we should just put a thermal energy production plant on top of your home ...
