Fossil Fuel Generation Outpaces Renewables in 2021 – IEA
Of course, it outpaces renewables in 2021 – and it will do so in 2031 and 2041, and so on. There is no version of this where renewables come out on top ever. Because an energy production technology that depends on ever-lasting subsidies for its survival and that also needs a reliable backup system for 100% of its capacity is not worth having. And the world will find out soon enough. In fact, much of the world already has. And the holdouts like Europe will learn through pain. The question is how much will be needed.
