It’s in full swing. COP23 was about how oil can fuel the energy transition for example. Oil and gas companies are putting a ton of money into “it’s not that bad” research, discrediting the reliability of renewables like “sun doesn’t shine at night” and so on. TikTok even had a gas cooking trend because they can’t compete with induction.
Not to mention that lobbying is still going hard for subsidies just to stay competitive. Media is screaming every time there’s a battery fire but when someone a company is scaling up a redux-flow battery it’s not newsworthy.
However, batteries + solar is getting waaay cheaper and you can’t compete with cheaper.
