No mention of possible resistance from fossil fuels interests? They have trillions of $ of assets to defend, so I would expect some unconventional methods to prevent renewable from growing quickly: buy some media, disrupt elections, promote FUD, get some big countries into war (an autocracy like Saudi Arabia certainly have this capability, or Russia since its regime also massively relies on gas to keep its economy afloat), etc.
Energy is not just about cost, it's a huge power that can make and destroy countries and empires. They will certainly not die without a fight.
