The problem though: While #renewables are growing steadily, total energy consumption does as well.
#RES growth 2005-2015 at 2.3% p.a., only marginally outpacing total energy consumption (1.7%) and fossil/nuclear (1.6%) growth.

Result is obvious but not known by most policymakers, journalists & public: #Renewables volume has drastically increased, but share in overall energy consumption hasn't.
See @REN21 numbers for 2006 (note that accounting methods have changed since)
