43% natural gas, 15% coal those two alone make up 58% of the energy mix. This title is a straight up lie if the article is to be believed.
Did you read the title though?
Yes, and it's a lie. The amount of new renewable production capacity being built is higher for renewables than for new fossil fuel production capacity.
I would've expected that to be a thing already, like most of the planet.
I can't attest to the accuracy of the numbers, I just tried to point out that the title doesn't say wind and solar overtook all fossil fuels, they only overtook coal.
It explains it in the first paragraph. The other person just didn't read the article.
Wind and solar 17%, coal 15%
