Meanwhile, according to the IEA, renewables investments exceed those in fossil fuels since +/- 2022 [1], and are expected to be the top electric power generator by 2026 [2].

Kodak in the early 2010s, maybe? Eastman Kodak (the spun-off film business) in the 2020s has been more or less stable. They even brought a discontinued film (E100) back. Production and pricing are now in line with the limited demand from film studios and hobbyists.

Made a typo, I meant 00s. I edited it, thanks :)

That can be fixed with absurd tarriffs on PVs

At least they don't follow Kodak's strategy from the late 10s, with KodakCoin.

Oh, wait.

We've seen this before with climategate - people seem to be endlessly editing the historical records.

Historical records, especially pre-record keeping are revised when new techniques and sciences discover better, more reliable ways of interpreting the physical geological evidence left in the world behind us. What is the basis of these revisions?

revision based on new findings is how science works revision based on ideology is how fascism works

Ironically climate will also rewrite the US and the rest of the world in return. More so that we are losing several important years because the US as a big contributor is now governed by complete climate deniers. Currently having the hottest summer so far, but coolest summer we will see at the same time is something I hoped to never experience.
