The shift from "Fossil Fuels" to "Renewables" is underway because of too many voters ignorant of science and/or unwilling to accept that the Government is malicious, and "Experts" are rarely so.
I can't tell you how may arguments I have had with people about the "Global Warming" scam that ended with "well Global Warming is real and there is nothing you can show me that will make me change my mind".
At this point I believe a very large number of Leftists/Democrats know "Renewables" are part of the overall plan meant to establish global authoritarianism.
IMHO, most people, even greenies, know that the global warming thing is a scam. I think they're now to proud to admit that they've been wrong for years, especially about something that they argued very loudly for.
