Except this is wrong. 3-4x efficiency gains on top of cheaper prices has a substantial impact even in the US. This is why the Inflation Reduction act is called that, you can lock in energy at flat prices, while fossil fuel prices rise at higher than inflation rates, and pass that cost saving on to everything that uses energy.
