    Yeah, most of us use wind and solar now.

    More seriously though, if this keeps going when are we likely to see any real impact for the average person and in what form? So far I haven’t really noticed anything different.

      Energy prices are decoupling from fossil fuel volatility. Just one of the reasons the fossil fuel lobby is dumping massive amounts of money into anti-renewable desinformation and lobbying (read: corruption) so politicians promote idiotic schemes to cap fuel prices instead.

      Actually doing not much at all and just keeping the momentum of an ongoing energy transition going would be a perfectly reasonable plan. Instead a lot of countries are doing the opposite: sabotaging progress while inventing rediculous measures to allegedly relieve people of pressure from increased energy prices that are nothing but another round of gifts for the fossil-fuel loving energy companies those politicians actually work for.
