We have crossed over into the period where renewable energy sources and related required infrastructure is on par or cheaper than fossil fuels.

Inefficiencies scale with ramp up speed, but if you increase the cost of fossil fuels those inefficiencies are more competitive so you get a faster ramp-up.
