Record clean-power growth in 2023 to spark ‘new era’ of fossil fuel decline
Coal, oil and gas are being pushed out of power grids by a record expansion of wind and solar, according to climate think tank Ember.
“The good news is it’s now clearly cheaper to save the planet than to ruin it,” says engineer and investor John Doerr. “The bad news is: we are fast running out of time.” In this conversation with climate policy expert Hal Harvey, the two sustainability leaders discuss why humanity has to act globally, at speed and at scale, to meet the staggering challenge of decarbonizing the global economy (which has only ever increased emissions throughout history) — and share helpful examples of promising energy solutions from around the world.
This talk was presented at an official TED conference.
