I don't know but someone has to pay for all this newer renewable energy that is going rampant throughout the world. To do away with fossil fuels and such is a tremendous undertaking and cost. Climate change has made us re-evaluate our energy standards and unfortunately, we all have to pay for it.

@caesar7 That was always the case, but fools kept denying the obvious trends and even the lesson of the "energy crisis"--staying on petroleum will only keep us susceptible to foreign manipulation of our economy.
Had we slowly been transitioning to renewables since the 1970's, we'd have built up better infrastructure and have tested solutions. Some places/nations have. We have a huge "Not Invented Here" syndrome in the US which means we often aren't wise enough to learn from others' successes & failures.
So here we are...big oil spent its lobbying money well.
