The US voted for the wealthy to not pay for the subsidies via federal
income tax (bottom 60% of Americans have no federal tax liability) and to expose US energy consumers to higher prices through continued fossil fuel use. The technology is proven, is cost competitive, and could be advantaged (through subsides that were removed). It isn’t, because of entrenched interests and corruption. It’s for profits and tax cuts for the wealthy, plain and simple, at the expense of everyone who needs energy.
If the public has a problem with this, they know where to find the folks making their lives more expensive for fossil fuel industry profits to share their concerns (even if climate change is not their priority).
I agree with most of this analysis - but a problem with your last paragraph is that many of the public are not/do not care to be sufficiently informed and therefore do not believe it. They think net zero/solar/anti-fracking is some sort of leftist plot.
