Because there is a global trend towards green energy use, caused by economic factors. It's bound to be more expressive outside the US, because of politics.

"caused by economic factors" is precisely why I think the conclusion is wrong. The US, if nothing else, structurally prioritizes profit, even if it it does dumb, short-sighted things at times.
