Not quite, what is lacking are strong renewable energy industry and 
employee lobby groups to put the case for renewables to government. 
Perhaps start-up and crowdfunding techniques could be used for this.

Companies and individuals who rely on fossil fuels for their livelihood 
are understandably going to put pressure on politicians to oppose 
renewables. It is difficult for politicians to resist, in favor of jobs 
which do not yet exist at fledgling companies.

Perhaps the renewable industry needs new forms of networked lobby groups 
to represent the interests of future employers and employees. That might 
include using entrepreneurial start-up techniques, where potential 
employees and investors contribute a small amount for a possible large 
future return.
