A decline in fossil fuel power is now ‘inevitable’, the report’s authors say.
Looking at the insanely fast built up of renewables in China, we will see coal consumption collapse in the coming years.
While China is building a LOT of renewable energy and it should be applauded for it, it is not the only thing that are building. China accounted for 95% of the world’s new coal power construction activity in 2023, according to the latest annual report from (globalenergymonitor.org) (GEM).
i want to hope
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Energy think tank Ember found that major growth in wind and solar helped push global electricity production past this milestone in 2023.
Its authors say that this rapid growth has brought the world to a crucial turning point where fossil fuel generation starts to decline.
“You also have the invasion of Ukraine which increased the sense of urgency around transitioning to clean power and getting off relying on fossil fuels - not just coal but also gas, and particularly from Russia.
Plans were put in place to help individual member states reach renewable energy targets and deploy technologies at a national scale.
“Certainly you can’t ignore that there was some demand [based] impact on the decrease in use of fossil fuels, but also there was a significant role of wind and solar replacing it.”
Normally this would have meant that the clean energy capacity added around the world last year would have caused fossil fuel generation to drop by 1.1 per cent.
The original article contains 796 words, the summary contains 162 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

As an American, I’m thinking now might be the time to get ahead of the impending horde and start sending my immigration request now.
Maybe do some research on various EU countries’ immigration policies, then pick a language to learn accordingly.

I’d argue you can almost always do more to change the environment you are familiar with, rather than moving to a new one.
You may quickly find people, politics and politicians are equally as closed minded, independent of which country you are in.

If you’re serious, I’d say language is optional in the first step - at least in Germany. If you manage to find a job here, you may get a visum (Aufenthaltstitel) for many years. A colleague of mine (IT) came here from India around 15 years ago and still only has rudimental German skills. If you want to integrate well with locals, it’s helpful of course and you also need a certificate to proof your German for permanent citizenship. But for coming here a job is far more helpful than language skills. And in many bigger or international companies English is the norm anyways.

I’ve got an Italian friend who’s been working and living in Monaco for a couple of years and barely speaks a few words of German

Honestly many US states are further left then many EU countries and at least try to do some good work for the enviroment.

Universal healthcare, PTO and mutual assistance are EU-wide. Argument invalid.

Which states is it you are referring to? And which countries? And what is it that you think qualifies as being “further left” in this case?
