A lot of this rings hollow. Sounds more like wishes than reality.

If wind and solar power were really cheaper we would be using much more of it but comparisons are only for new installs not existing operations with already sunk costs and shutdown costs. Solar and wind don't compete with new installs they compete as replacements since we are already consuming less energy we only need new sources when old sources need to be replaced.

The green new deal will be delayed, maybe until it is too late, well maybe too too late as it is already too late for some.

Your small and medium enterprises are too limited to move this fast enough.

Electric vehicles, sustainable agriculture, and green power will need government support, either subsidies, incentives or mandates if we are going to transition quickly enough. Government support requires the acquiescence of the Neo-Liberal/Conservative Plutocratic Oligarchic Elites. Right now they have too much to lose to let it go.
