I don't know man, subsidies for oil and gas are orders of magnitude larger than for renewables, yet the cost for fossil fuels only increased (which makes sense because easily extractable fossils are getting depleted), whereas the cost of renewable has dropped by 90% in 10 years.
In some places it's already cheaper today to build new renewable plants than to run existing fossil power plants.
You may not like it for ideological reasons, but the free market doesn't care
