Green energy is the biggest con of the century. The idea behind it is "to save the planet" from pollution and manmade climate change and to help the poor, but green energy is extremely expensive.
https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2014/01/05/why-is-renewable-energy-so-expensiveEven solar and wind energy are prohibitive in real terms. When used on a global scale minus oil, the greatest casualties will be the poor. In any case, to get to the point where the so-called green energy begins to make economic sense, a lot of oil and gas will have to be used. EU is able to switch to green energy in 2030 because they will have used oil as a launching pad. Asking other countries to follow suit will be like asking Asbel Kiprop to take mursik and run after a fighter jet on his way to Mogogosiek.
Even nuclear energy really hurts the poor especially in the developing backwater shitholes where mzungu dumps nuclear waste. The people pushing for green energy are all having different aims: scientists are pushing for reputation among peers, the striking teenagers are looking for fame while escaping school, the politicians are looking for votes, the pope is hoping to distract people from the pedophile scandal, the media are pushing for advertising dollars, the presidents are looking for freebies and so on. Climate change is the new SGR. I'm surprised our own arap machamba has not proclaimed himself the pope of climate change.
