@disorderlyf@todon.eu @xerz@soc.masfloss.net @bradr@infosec.exchange to be honest, it's in large part a coincidence. It takes over 5 years (sometimes much longer) since a wind farm is proposed until it comes online.
Renewables are becoming the main source of electricity simply because of economics. Governments do not need to push renewables: they simply have to avoid punishing them.

@mbpaz@mas.to @xerz@soc.masfloss.net @bradr@infosec.exchange The latter is what I assumed was why it looked like the transition was slow going. I've also heard the time to approve new solar and wind (mostly solar) projects on average has gone down, so it might've just been when the initial push for it to snowball happened.
