This year is renewable energy’s time to shine.
For the first time ever, investments in green energy will surpass investments in fossil fuels.
According to the International Energy Agency, “Renewable power [is] on course to shatter more records as countries around the world speed up deployment.”
The agency went further, stating that in 2023, “For every dollar invested in fossil fuels, about 1.7 dollars are now going into clean energy. Five years ago, this ratio was one-to-one.”
The forecast is for $2.8 trillion to be invested in energy worldwide this year. Of that:
• More than $1.7 trillion is expected to go into renewables and nuclear power.
• The rest will go to oil, gas and coal.
