For me in the us, it was the election. We finally had goal, funding and progress toward renewable energy. We had the government working for us, not against us. We were building momentum on the switch to EVs and residential electrification. Sure, it was too little too late, but it was progress and it was a huge change of “attitude “ and direction. No longer fighting the idea but actually responding.
Then the pendulum of politics in the us swung the other way, all that slow painful progress undone, an administration actively working to make things worse. All those corporate resolutions to become good corporate citizens disappear under the slightest pressure.
