RAGE, RAGE AGAINST THE EFFICIENCY OF THE LIGHT:
Wind and solar reach 10 per cent of global electricity production for first time (Giles Parkinson, 31 March 2022, Renew Economy)
Reaction can't stop simple economics.The share of wind and solar in the world's electricity production has exceeded 10 per cent for the first time, as China and Japan joined some 50 different countries to exceed that level in 2021.The new assessment, from the UK-based Ember, notes that wind and solar are the fastest growing sources of electricity, and if maintained at current rates could deliver enough capacity to help cap average global warming at around 1.5°C.
