They are now cheap (not even relatively cheap, most renewables are in par with fossil fuel power generation in terms of life cycle cost), and can be paired with a lot of different energy storage solutions that are relatively safe and easy to maintain.

Even without the new energy crisis it just doesn't make economic sense to add new fossil fuel generation to meet an energy gap
