>Solar arrays and wind farms accounted for 18% of electricity generation across the European Union in 2019, at 569 TWh, while coal-fired capacity fell to just 15%, for 469 TWh, the thinktanks said, noting coal generated twice as much electricity as solar and wind on the continent as recently as five years ago.In the past 10 years solar and wind probably rose with 469 TWh, it is very likely that is going to be just as much or even more in the coming ten years.
By 2030 the whole continent will use 40% wind and solar, 10% hydro, 20% nuclear and 30% gas or something. Very little coal will still be burnt.
The same picture will arrive in the US 10 years later and in China, 20 years later and then another 10 years later India will phase it out and africa as well.
I don't know why people are still making a fuss. The changes have already been made, you just need to give it time and let it play out.
