World solar power doubled in the past 18 months. China passed 50% renewables with incredible and unanticipated speed, Europe is down to getting only 17% of its power from fossil fuels, solar has firmly outstripped coal in use and cost, and all signs point to 2023 as peak world carbon emissions, that we've hit the turn of the curve and carbon will now be lower every year. It's working! #ShareGoodNewsToo https://futurecrunch.com/r/4f79a213?m=d62c57a4-125a-4b9d-b04d-bdfd23b8627c
@adapalmer This is great news, but solar going up doesn't necessarily mean that fossil fuels will go down. Unless we are careful, people will try to put all that cheap new electricity into mining Bitcoin and teaching large language models.
