A decline in fossil fuel power is now ‘inevitable’, the report's authors say.

the bad news is:

Clean power sources have already helped to slow the growth in fossil fuels by almost two-thirds in the last 10 years.

at first that sounds great but what that really means is fossil fuel use is still increasing; that 30% figure does not tell the whole story.

If the data is correct, these are the last years of fossil growth - from now on, renewables will be outpeacing the growing demand
