Two key turning points were passed in the 2022-24 period:
1. The USA now has more jobs in renewable energy than coal/oil/gas. (Which means lobbying muscle that wasn't there a decade ago.)
2. PV roll-out worldwide is rising fast: we install as many solar panels in five days now as were installed in the whole of 2004, and the rate is doubling every 18 months or so.
The petrochemical industry wouldn't be panicking and lobbying this hard if they weren't in mortal peril!
