In Australia we have wholesale providers like Amber that share the price signals. I know when to plug in a car, run a heat pump, or alternatively delay a dishwasher based on a price forecast and Home Assistant automation. Plus linked to solar curtailment.

We often hear the excuse in Australia "why should we act on emissions and renewable energy when China is a bigger emitter and continues to burn coal".

You’ll know that petrol prices are starting to bite when people start removing their roof racks and unused awnings from their school run cars. I’d love to do a study on the impact of additional drag on emissions * how many awnings have been sold in Australia over the past decade.
I’m not an active poster but I relied on it for so many sources of news.

Selfish but true for many I bet.
