Clean energy, largely wind and solar, have grown significantly over the last decade, due largely to policies by a range of countries, including China, Germany and the U.S.

The cynic in me says way too much of this is simply natural gas being less expensive, with no environmental motivation. And even worse that it doesn’t account for methane leaks
If progress is to happen under capitalism it will be due to market pressures, though. At least it has so far. (Most) people don’t install solar panels on their houses to save the planet, they do it to save money. Now apply that to entire markets and nations.
Sure, but solar panels are an end goal. Natural gas is at best an intermediary goal that also established new fossil fuel infrastructure, and may be much worse for the environment than expected, depending on methane leaks
