Many ways away from fossil fuel, both solar and nuclear would have been great options, but even with early solar, we would have had to use coal or gass for base load without nuclear was what u was trying to say.
How we let them was just by not standing up and not holding them accountable. That is still the issue today. They knew for DECADES and still is profiting with government subsidies everywhere. We need to push politicians away from lobbying and give them the support they need to be firm with the 1%.
It is if you consider the cost of the redundancy required for renewable energy to serve as base load once you cut oil, gass and coal out of the supply.
Nuclear can cover this base load until we develop better storage systems for large scale use.
If we had just built nuclear with the modern architecture developed in the 70's onwards we'd be able to move away from fossile fuel FAAR more easily today, without any mjor disasters from the reactor technology from the 50's.
I don't have the app, and searching for "gemini" only gives "gemini settings" which when clicked opens the promt of "do you accept changing Google assistant to gemini", clicking "not now" just sends me back to setting search.

Organized protest when your voice can bring change, then go back to focusing on your local community where the stakes are smaller, but you still get the wins. Get others to join when the topic comes up, but accept that people need boundaries to stay sane, and might have different capacity than you.
And a few fines to popular websites and news reports about it and people will start to learn what the law is and don't implement meta haphazardly.
"just happen" will quickly turn to "rarely happens" once it becomes enforced.
