Environmental activist incorporating many countries ,the true environmental, climate, and health costs makes fossil fuels significantly more expensive than renewable energy. When accounting for pollution-related health crises (approx. $5 trillion+ annual global cost) and climate damage, fossil fuels are far less competitive than, for example, wind and solar power.

When accounting for pollution-related health crises (approx. $5 trillion+ annual global cost) and climate damage, fossil fuels are far less competitive than, for example, wind and solar power.
Key ways "environmental heroes" (investors, policymakers, and activists) are making fossil fuels more expensive:
Carbon Pricing/Taxation: -
Implementing taxes or cap-and-trade systems that force companies to pay for their emissions.
Removing Subsidies:-
Eliminating the $500+ billion in annual direct subsidies for fossil fuels, which makes renewable energy more cost-competitive.
Accounting for Health Costs: -
Factoring in the $2.9 trillion annual cost of air pollution, reducing the perceived cheapness of fossil fuels.
Driving Investment to Renewables:-
Using market demand to lower the cost of green tech, making alternatives like EVs and solar panels cheaper than gasoline or coal.
Note: Some political satire suggests that extreme economic turmoil in the energy market can also function as a, perhaps unintended, mechanism for raising fossil fuel prices.
Does this answer your question about how environmental efforts are increasing the cost of fossil fuels?
Renewable energy is cheaper and healthier – so why isn’t it ...
Health benefits of leaving fossil fuels , Burning coal, oil and natural gas releases tiny particles into the air along with toxic gases; these pollutants can worsen Glove
