Growth in Renewable Energy

As the meme here suggests, renewable energy and electric transportation are making headway. Unfortunately:

• Our overall demands for energy are also increasing, especially as Asians want to live more like westerners.

• The developing world does not have the financial resources to jump ahead from fossil fuels to solar, wind, and nuclear in their electricity generation plants.

• Rich nations are showing tepid interest in making sacrifices to decarbonize the world’s grid-mix. The political will just doesn’t seem to exist at this point.

One wonders if some event, or series of events will take place, serving to catalyze planetary interest in averting climate catastrophe.
