Renewables have been playing a HUGE part in the world economy not spiraling down into economic collapse during this crisis. If an oil shortage of this magnitude happened 20 years ago things would‘ve looked a lot bleaker I think.
Renewables have won the debate by being cheaper and making countries less reliable on a handful of dodgy suppliers. Because unlike gas and oil that we burn and use up immediately, solar and wind parks stay for a while. As it turns out, the sun and the wind are indeed more reliable than dictators and dictator wannabes.
Great news, the efficiency gains from electrification are undeniable, and fossil fuel company lies are obvious.
That isn’t an argument with your point, just funny.
