many institutions and businesses have money invested in fossil fuels, a ban would destroy the economy and those institutions.

in places with extreme weather conditions walking to public transportation or not being able to heat your house can be very dangerous.

we should not ban fossil fuels because often times they can be less harmful to the environment than manufacturing "green" energy sources like solar panels.

we should not ban fossil fuels because not all fossil fuels are created equally and we could continue to use clean natural gas while banning coal and oil.

there are other, less extreme ways to decrease the use and discourage fossil fuels like carbon taxes or ending subsides that wouldn't cause as much of extreme economic turmoil.

jobs destroyed by a ban won't be replaced with jobs for as low of a level of education (since greener energy needs more researchers and engineers than miners), leaving many permanently out of work.

fossil fuels are the thing that anable the modern western world and all the research in science. if we would stop using it we will roll the modern world back to the midle age.
