Anybody else as optimistic as ever about the climate recently?

Things have been looking up for the climate recently. Following the closure of the strait of hormuz, a second argument for clean energy has emerged, that being energy independence. Higher fuel prices have also led to increased demand in EVs, which will in turn push many people into life time EV buyers, and later down the line add to the second-hand market. In another vein, the electric trucks of Tesla and WindRose seem to be quite competitive with their fossil counter parts (something that was pretty unimaginable a few years ago), thereby helping to decarbonise an industry which doesn't care much for narratives (whether that be for or against the climate). Finally we are of course seeing batteries, both for the home and grid, drastically reducing in price, allowing renewables to be even more competitive. IDK just feels optimistic from this part of the world!
