but richer nations including the US and EU relied more than before on planet-warming fossil fuels for electricity generation. [...] Coal, a major contributor to global warming, was still the world's largest individual source of energy generation [...] Despite these regional differences, Ember calls this moment a "crucial turning point".

Man. If the US had just not had a cuckolded Democratic Party in 2000 and not have rolled over on the fact that Republicans literally stole an election, we could have had Al Gore.

Even in past 16 years.. if the US had ran with this as a tailwind instead of a headwind.

Its because of a broken mindset the US hasn't. Because renewables, with more deployment get cheaper to deploy. It works against what power companies and utilities need, which, allegedly, is recurring revenue. Its because of a culture of what it means to be a manager, and what an organizations priorities should be that the US is going backwards on this.
