I'm sure governments will treat this with as much urgency as they've been the past 2 decades or so. Whatever they're planning, it's not happening fast enough and with the biggest offenders not even approaching the table to discuss a solution, I'm not optimistic 2040 is feasible.
Maybe for a long tail - but I think there were a few reports from other places that phaseout can happen faster than expected :)
I am just worried that fossil prices drop because nobody buys them, making it super cheap again.

That's only checks notes 10 years after we're all fucked.

The final deadline is 2040. It means steady decarbonization between now and then, not "do nothing, then suddenly switch"
