Did you actually listen to the video? They explicitly mention that capitalist countries do subsidize renewable energy, but it’s unreliable due to political fluctuations. Subsidies can be abruptly discontinued with a change in administration (e.g. like new US administration cuts funding). The main point of the video is the investment behavior of energy companies regarding renewable energy, and why, from a Return on Investment perspective, renewables are still not competitive.

No i didn’t, thanks for the summary. Seems like capitalism is going against the tankie propaganda and investing in things that are not profitable since capitalists are not evil.

being anti-capitalist is not the same as being a tankie. conflating the 2 is how labels get diluted

American capitalism and capitalism are 2 different things. America is a 3rd world anti humane shithole, while europe is just fine.
