As aggressively as they are plastering deserts with solar panels and put windmills everywhere, this is not surprising. They are basically doing their part and more, just because they know and have accepted that renewable energy is cheaper on the long run.
In the US, scientists and engineers know that it would be cheaper, but politics is way too deep in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry to take any action. In Europe, they don’t have the space that China or the USA can provide, and there is way too mich NIMBY involved to actually get somewhere.
