Research from LUT University and 14 additional leading international universities suggest that the new system would be based largely on solar and wind energy, energy storage, sector coupling, and direct and indirect electrification of almost all energy demand. An energy system that is 100% based on renewables has emerged to become scientific mainstream.

      Yes, but lumping “governments” is hugely misleading without context, like for example: subsidies per capita, subsidies per investment in green energy, recent changes in the fossil/renewables etc.

      In reality we have China being global leader in renewables while USA Supreme Court just torpedoed one of the small shreds of regulation they had, and their new economic plan basically negates all large scale renewable investments because it first make it dependent on fossil industry recieving excessive amount of land. I’m not even mentioning other issues like fracking.

      No idea about Russia and Japan. India most probably wont make it. Hell we also have EU there where Germany is in the hole after it bootlicked itself into energy crisis AND they probably regret resigning from atom immensely now, or France of which i just today read they are loosening environmental protections because energy crisis. Which (the energy crisis) is caused by USA and EU sanctions on Russia.
