Arno Kopecky argues in The Narwhal that renewable energy has achieved critical mass, but the oil and gas industry has us staying a dangerous course amid climate change. In a nutshell:As clean energy gains traction, the rapid adoption of wind and solar power is poised to push coal to the brink of extinction. Nevertheless, positive tipping points are also taking place, with the cost of renewable energy falling below that of coal and solar capacity outpacing other energy sources. Key quote:“This is the pivotal decade in the energy transition,” agrees a new report from the Rocky Mountain Institute. The widespread adoption of renewable energy technologies not only combats climate change but also paves the way for a cleaner, healthier future for all.
