From the electoral system favoring protectionism and reducing progress and innovation on green technology, to the US expansing massively its fossil fuel exports (Yes, including coal has surged, although on exports not domestic consumption) under even democrat leadership, to the cultural allergy to any kind of non individualism leading to the most inefficient housing and transportation stock of the world, the US has created the perfect circumstances to make itseld as hard as possible to decarbonize itself.
The subsidies to green technology have done little to go against the increasinly hard-to-decarbonize fundamentals of the nation, which have resulted in Wind power barely increasing at all and solar power doing so so slowly, in 2024 Pakistan will install as much solar per capita as the US despite being 12 times poorer in PPP and 50 times poorer in nominal terms
