I'm glad to see this in the Financial Times because "clean power" is only half the equation here. There is an economic benefit because solar is cheap power! And there also a national defense angle because solar is increasingly decentralized power that kneecaps both the terrorist looking to damage power infrastructure, not to mention the very concept of the petrostate.
I think this became as obvious only for the last few months, after another oil supply crisis emerged. I myself became much more "for" renewable energy sources, as it is much easier to see it on the price difference of petrol versus electricity :)
