Have to read the post I guess, but is there a TLDR version on what they have done? Its a great achievement
Hehe read it and asked Grok for a tldr version.
TL;DR: Solar power has become a global, cost-effective energy leader in the past two years, surpassing coal, oil, and gas in new installations.
With rapid growth in solar and wind, especially in China, India, and the U.S., renewables met 96% of new global electricity demand in 2024.
Battery storage advancements and declining costs are driving a shift from fossil fuels, offering hope against climate change despite political pushback, like Trump’s efforts to limit clean energy incentives.
renewables are becoming so cheap, they need no more incenives.
Oil, gas and atom need incentives because they are too expensive and polute the earth.
Yeah renewable is inveitable. Its just how we convert society in a fast enough pace without destorying the power grids.
