I agree - Innovation. Clean energy has been around for ages but owned little of the market. Now that it's getting cheaper and competing with dirty methods on a cost bases it's an easy option - for rich countries, countries desperate to ascend from poverty and everyone in-between.

In a way, if you care about the environment, the best you may be to able to do is invest in green innovation and tech yourself.
