Solar power has scaled faster than ANY energy source in history: just 8 years to reach 1000 TWh (2013–2021) & only 3 years to hit 2000 TWh!🌞Wind follows closely. Meanwhile, gas, coal, & nuclear took decades. Renewables are rewriting the energy playbook bringing us rapidly toward zero carbon. #Energy
