We've reached the point where you don't even need to "stop" it. You can go back to allowing solar and wind development that the market will favor because it's now substantially cheaper than any other form of energy. Reframe the problem as Republicans hampering renewables as a source of cheap energy.
"The Americans have created the behemoth tech companies... and we will all use their technology whether we like it or not."
Tell me again how we have agency, Tony 🙃
“The real surprise from the OECD’s subsidy numbers is that it cost China less than $18bn in sectoral support over 15 years to build an industry that can now provide more clean power than the world can readily absorb.”

While Tony Blair is trashing UK govt energy policy, NESTA analysis finds "early signs [it] may be working"
2022: Gas prices went up 100%, electricity 83% (roughly 1:1)
2026: Gas +28%, elec 6% (5:1 = "electricity beginning to decouple from gas")

The reactions to this are mainly focused on the move to the right, but what's really striking in reading Blair's essay in full, is how little Labour's most electorally successful politician understands the current electorate.

California is installing zero-emission electric appliances and energy-saving upgrades at no cost to low-income households across the state under the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program.
The fact that Blair thinks this is a genuine dichotomy, when in reality renewables have never been cheaper and fossil fuels are increasingly expensive, suggests he really isn't paying attention institute.global/insights/pol...
In highly unusual intervention, ex-PM says his party’s ‘almost infinite capacity for self-delusion’ makes it likely to lose next election
This single shipload of electric vehicles from BYD will cut Australia's annual fuel demand by at least 6 million litres
This is what genuine fuel security looks like - not tanks of diesel and rushed trade deals, but cutting our exposure permanently to overseas fossil fuel supply.

NYT is always "progressives should abandon their principles! Sell out! Sell out! SELL OUT!" This is something you will constantly find at the NYT, a piece dressed up as a news article that is editorializing frantically for a political position, not neutrally presenting the facts.
