I personally think it’s simply about attempting to create a new energy sector boom. The shot callers are jealous they missed out on oil, so they're trying to force ev, solar, wind, etc. so they can be at the top of the heap when it pops off, even if by decree

I can see that to a degree but they have been trying to force a lot of alternative energies since the 70s with minimal success.
Petrocarbons are the most efficient method of energy storage out there with regards to ease in unlocking it, either from the ground or once refined.
Hydrogen has a ton of energy but it takes a lot to crack it and create more since starting it AS hydrogen is dangerous as hell.
Solar suffers because collection tech and storage tech is horribly inefficient despite decades of research and huge investments.
Etc.
There would have to be a major energy revolution in order to make a lot of these alternatives feasible and cutting our use of petrochemicals isn’t going to jump start an alternative. Ye canna change the laws of physics, Jim!
