The world generated a record 10% of its electricity from wind and solar in 2021, a new report shows.

The world generated a record 10% of its electricity from wind and solar in 2021 and clean sources accounted for 38% of total power supply — even more than coal.

That's according to a report published on Wednesday by Ember. The independent climate think tank found that 50 countries were generating more than 10% of their power from wind and solar, with the fastest transformations happening in the Netherlands, Australia and Vietnam. Those countries have switched around a tenth of their power from fossil fuels to wind and solar in just the last two years. Ten countries generated more than 25% of their power from wind and solar, led by Denmark at 52%.

...and shockingly, no one died of windmillcancer

Hu .. no data I look at says that .. BTW .. have you asked Germany about how that whole “windmills and solar panels plan” is working out ..

2/3 of electricity produced with fossil fuels. China & India will increase production with fuel from Russia. A functioning, national distribution net requires stable input. This, solar and wind cannot provide. Demand for el skyrocketing with coming EV fleet. 1000TWh extra needed

Vigorously developing and using clean energy is an inevitable choice for the sustainable development of mankind, and all countries and regions should make continuous progress in this direction.

In Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 we have more than 12% solar and wind generated electricity..

No it didn't 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lies upon more lies

It's not even close who generates the most renewable energy in the world.

Funny how democrats have been pushing green and electric cars since Obama... and here we are 2022 understanding why we should have been listening to ourselves. Stop letting Republicans ruin what could be good for America

A two-megawatt windmill is made up of 260 tonnes of steel that required 300 tonnes of iron ore and 170 tonnes of coking coal, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons

Wahoo... I love that this direction is becoming reality.

We're not gonna go anywhere with wind/solar. We need to transition to nuclear...

And every right winger is bitter about it for some reason.

Well that is far from being high, but at least it's something.

It's still not enough

Wind and solar power can not replace fossil fuel power.

tonyserrata Well there’s a story that’s bound to piss RepubliQuans off….

$2000 for the first 5 people to DM me ' BELIEVE' 🇨🇦🇺🇲

That's awesome. Let's do more!!

That's just amazing

Well recently Gaofyork is day trading on crypto and making sure people are earnings as low as $500k after 1-2 months of trading, I’m keeping up with this for the main time. You can actually start with a minimum of $300 there is a funding program for newbies too Gaofyork

This is going to upset Joe Manchin.

At the same time killing thousands of species of Wildlife.

What did that 10% run? Hunter Biden's laptop?

Let's get even more clean power 🙂

EvacuateAUAFStudents

Now imagine how much area is used for the construction of wind turbines and solar generators!!

Only ?

Why did it take 2 years for the NY Times to say the Hunter Biden Laptop story is a real story and not Russian Disinformation? Is it because they are committed to the Truth or committed to spinning the truth?How committed Is the Biden Admin to spinning the truth also?

Information is the key to success I’m now seeing more doors of blessings on my first and second trail I got my profit back GAODwyer01

Solar is the world future power generators in most countries as sun is more predictable than the wind. Only problem is how to maximise sun energy with new technologies.

But the windmill cancer. How about that?

We should be at 50%

GeorgeServed Cancer rates soar, TFG ? If not better burner phone a family Klan member!

It is ugly and we need more innovations to find better solutions. I think we can.

and spent 20% oil energy to create the solar /wind infrastructure

Way to go. Just 90% more left!! 😁

The cost and the birds that are killed do not make up for 10% of power

Storm Speed ?

That’s a joke considering the abuses of pollution by China and Russia . Southeast Asia, India are also terrible Wind and solar will never produce even close to 50 % of what the world needs in the next forty years or more

Data will gradually increase, and social energy will develop in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly direction

The more renewables the better to protect the climate and to reduce our dependence on unstable authoritarians!

The market is leading us to green energy! Public opinion has a huge impact in US. Many countries like Mexico are investing heavily in wind energy! cleanenergy

This is the Future! We need to embrace it at earliest for Clean and Green source of energy Regardless, majority 90% of primary source being fossil fuels; we need to Reuse, Recycle, Reduce and most importantly Respect resources which are finite and leave massive carbon footprint.

Nous devrions apprendre à utiliser l’énergie durable pour répondre à nos énormes demandes d’électricité.
