We’ve been eclipsed in so many other ways - and now we will here too. We’ll still eventually get to full green, that just makes that process slower, but in the meantime we’re just letting others pass us by.
I wonder what they’ll do with all that money they aren’t spending on fossil fuels.

From my understanding they are still spending money on fossil fuels like coal to some extent but they’re clearly in the process of transitioning towards green energy and you’re right that they’re surpassing us there, by far.
This Green Energy community is on a Solarpunk instance powered by solar power and a lot of Solarpunk fiction finds hope in dark times by imagining ways people respond to climate catastrophes with resilience, solidarity and community when our governments fail to provide solutions. The DIY and hopeful aspects of Solarpunk, whether real or fiction, seem especially prescient towards our current situation though that’s not denying what you just pointed out.
