In other words, between now and 2027, we will collectively install as much wind power and solar pv capacity than we did in the past twenty years, or 2,400 GW. By 2025, renewables will be the largest source of electricity in the world, taking over coal. These are great news as both solar and wind slash the need for fossil gas and coal.
