Global renewable energy just hit a milestone—and a wall. (Semafor)

  • In the first half of this year, wind and solar met all of the world’s new electricity demand, edging out coal for the first time ever, according to Ember. 

  • Most of the gains came from China and India, where renewables are scaling at record speed.

  • The IEA now expects global renewable capacity to more than double by 2030…but slashed its US forecast by nearly 50% after President Trump’s clean energy rollback.
