From the Climate Reality Project:
In
2000, analysts projected the world would have 30 gigawatts of wind
energy capacity installed by 2010. In 2015, the world passed this mark
by 14.5 times!
Experts
also projected in 2002 that the world would install 1 gigawatt of solar
power per year by 2010. Last year, we beat that figure by 58 times
over. And this year, we are on track to exceed that prediction by 68
times over!
The cost of solar energy has decreased about 10 percent each year for the past 30 years,
and we’re getting closer to grid parity in more and more markets around
the world, which means solar power will soon cost less than electricity
from fossil fuels in more and more places around the world!
