This makes me want to phase it out faster.

If it was failing you'd let it fail. If you were worried that it wasn't you'd yell from the hills.

Saudi Arabia has one of the most aggressive targets for renewable energy. And they are actually investing and building the infrastructure instead of just talking about it. Just like with their other plans to diversify the economy, they know fossil fuels are unsustainable and that if they won't be able to support their social welfare benefits, peaceful existence will end.

It's the same case as with Texas in US. They shout that renewable energy is bad to appease their fossil fuel donors, while they have the biggest capacity of renewable energy of the whole US.
