@ChrisMayLA6 I hate to say it but, with (heavily subsidised) fossil powered electricity now neck and neck with (zero materials cost) renewable power, it’s time for the renewables industry to start outspending their rivals for influence in all its forms.

"The era of fossil fuels’ dominance is coming to an end.

For every dollar that goes to #FossilFuels, an average of $3 needs to be invested in low-carbon energy over the remainder of the decade – up from parity today. A fully decarbonized global energy system by 2050 could come with a $215 trillion price tag – not an insignificant amount, but only 19% more than in an economics-driven transition, where the Paris Agreement goals are missed and global warming reaches 2.6C."
