You are missing the obvious that gas and oil are spending a lot of money to slow the swap, no matter how much cheaper wind and solar is the people making the decisions are more likely to personally profit from fossil fuels

Coal is already down 57% in the US as a power source. New US Power Plants are around 70% renewables these days.

Oil will take longer. Electric only reached 10% of new vehicle sales this year, and it takes about 20 years to replace the total vehicle fleet. So that means perhaps 1% of the vehicle fleet is electric so far.
