A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source.
In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up.

It is both true:
1) Fossil fuels made possible unprecedented human prosperity during the last 150 years.
2) Their byproducts are harmful.
We've reached a level where we can replace fossil fuels and still ensure human well-being, but some prefer to keep polluting.
