New report: ‘The Sky’s The Limit’ finds huge falls in the cost of #solar & #wind power have unlocked an energy reserve that can meet world demand 100x over! Most is already economic compared with #FossilFuels carbontracker.org/reports/the-sk…
At current growth rates, #renewables will push #FossilFuels out of the electricity sector by 2035, & 2050 could see a world powered entirely by electricity. Author @KingsmillBond says: “we're entering a new era, comparable to the industrial revolution” carbontracker.org/reports/the-sk…
.@KingsmillBond continued: "Geopolitics will be transformed as nations are freed from expensive imports of #coal, #oil & #gas. Clean #renewables will free the planet from the impact of fossil fuel pollution." carbontracker.org/reports/the-sk…
Opportunities are greatest in emerging markets which have the highest #solar & #wind potential relative to domestic demand. #Africa has 39% of global potential & could become a #renewables superpower carbontracker.org/reports/the-sk…
Don't have time to read the full 'The Sky's The Limit' report on the global potential of #wind & #solar energy? @marghegagliardi has you covered with this #infographic summarising the key findings👇carbontracker.org/reports/the-sk…
The 2020's will be a decade of rapid change. A rising tide of #renewables will confront a sinking #FossilFuel island - as sector after sector is disrupted. #EnergyTransition

Thread: @BillGates claims fossil fuel #divestment has 'zero' climate impact, and #climatechange activists are 'wasting their time' lobbying investors to ditch #fossilfuel stocks ft.com/content/21009e…
@BillGates Gates: “#Divestment, to date, probably has reduced about zero tonnes of emissions. It’s not like you’ve capital-starved [the] people making steel and gasoline” ft.com/content/21009e…
@BillGates As @350 note: arguments against fossil fuel #divestment miss a larger point. The idea is not to starve companies of capital but to remove their “social licence to operate” & make it easier for Govts to act on climate issues by breaking #fossilfuel companies’ hold on politicians.
