Interesting to note that this is being spearheaded by lower-income developing nations.
There were those on the left who were worried that the phase out of fossil fuels would be like the developed nations pulling the ladder up behind themselves. But with the way things are going now countries in the global south may actually end up leapfrogging the imperial core, as they build out cleaner and more advanced infrastructure.

Every right winger tomorrow: “But think of all the diesel trucks that have to drive and service the wind turbines!” (an actual thing I’ve heard)

Oh yes, also ‘wind turbines need oil lubricant’ - checkmate environmentalists.
Never mind that they use a tiny fraction of the fossil fuels of a gas or coal plant.
‘Any step towards reducing fossil fuels is completely pointless if it uses even a tiny shred of fossil fuels’ is some deeply stupid logic that they keep falling back on.
