Don't regulations come into play? In the EU, inefficient light bulbs have been phased out [0]
In France, we have free energy market since 2010 [1], with some players [2] focusing on green energy, etc.
Diesel & gas (for cars) prices are sky-rocketting (taxes !! [3]). Not cool for people who don't have the choice to keep using their old cars (students, unemployed, etc.) but the goal is to make combustion-engine cars so expensive they become unattractive.
