Not before revolution. As long as capitalists are still in charge, renewable energy is still used as a commodity and sold to us proles as expensive as before the transition, and with added cost even for the "transition costs", I say this from experience where I live.
But of course, after revolution renewable energy is the only way to go, not only to save the planet and ourselves, but also because it eliminates a massive need of labor and resources that would be required to sustain an oil / mineral powered economy.
Renewable energy is still a commodity because we still don't have enough renewable capacity to take care of all our energy needs. When renewable capacity hits 90%, you are going to see a massive shift in how energy is thought about
it'll be surprising to watch the west hit this capacity since they've been doubling down of fossil fuels in the last decade plus.
