Am I misreasding it? The parent says that effort to reduce our fossil fuel consumption have resulted in rising energy bills

I am saying that it's the opposite, our complacency in switching to renewables has caused this situation

The renewables are apparently not ready yet. They can't produce them fast enough, and they take an inordinate amount of material. Corporations have advanced marketing fables, recieved huge public grants all on the delusion that it is a simple switch. It's not.

I agree with the comment as written, but I think the author means "cut the green crap" and I mean "stop subsidizing fossil fuels and roll out cheap renewables/insulation/etc."
