One major difference. When coal and then oil ascended they did so because they were a cheaper better source. Alternatives are doing so more for political motives than economics.

I don’t disagree with this but imho in a less than a decade solar and wind will reach grid parity. AND eventually they’ll cost less.
However, the real revolution won’t come until energy is 1/4-1/10 the cost of current cheapest coal/natural gas. That will likely come byo some form of nuclear energy. The betas for that are +-5 years off and production is +-10 years off.
I agree with the article’s premise that its an interesting time for energy but not quite for the reasons they give.
Reduce the subsidies and find out.
