The future is Green: Working towards a post carbon lifestyle, one that does not rely on petroleum-based products for so much of its daily existence, will require re-learning to locally make many of the things we need.

That's a polite way of saying a lot of people would have to do without, and for many that could mean doing without the very necessities of life: food, water, and heat. In short, Lynch and Yergin seem to be saying that because the marketplace would not produce a salutary outcome, such an outcome must be impossible.
