1. By 2035 the world could be getting half its electricity from renewable sources

If the last 25 years of growth trends for both electricity consumption and renewable electricity production stay on track. But of course that's a long time to project a trend.

Unfortunately, by that time electricity demand could have doubled, so we'd be no further ahead than today in terms of ecological damage, both from increasing CO2 and the ecological damage that's caused by humans using that energy to do stuff to the biosphere.

In the USA, Trump and all his "coal-rolling" cult members sure as hell aren't going to help things.
