Well it really looks like solar won't save the world.
Notice there's a chip shortage and in the united states we only gets like 2% of our electricity from solar.
It's not s matter of will. There just not enough of the stuff needed to make the solar panels.

As seen with the Orville dam the United States has already hit and surpassed peak domestic hydroelectric power.

I like electric vehicles, if most people drove them the United States would be the world leader in finished petroleum products.
