This isn't about good guys/bad guys. It's driven by money because renewables are increasingly profitable. Solar especially is taking business and investment off the oil majors. Eg: Privately held Natron is investing $1.5b in sodium batteries in California. A big investor in Natron is Chevron.

I agree "good guys" was not the best term. "best in class" would be better. No doubt the fossil industries are looking for business opportunities outside fossil, but it is still minuscule compared to their spending in fossil. And super profits will only be harvested in fossil.
