A world without wind and solar: imagining the counterfactual
Original: What if the world hadn't built wind and solar?
A new essay asks what global energy and emissions would look like if the world had never built wind turbines and solar panels. It explores how much higher greenhouse gas emissions would be today without renewables and reflects on the pace of the clean energy transition. The piece has drawn attention among energy and climate watchers discussing the value of decades of renewable investment.
Why now: Renewable energy growth and its climate impact are being actively debated, making a counterfactual on wind and solar timely.
