UK now has more renewables capacity than fossil fuels

3. Some people will complain that any progress is still not enough

While that might be true that it's not enough it still is heading in the right direction.

I like this part of the OP:

A third of Britain’s coal, gas and oil capacity has retired over the last five years, while the capacity of wind, solar, biomass, hydro and other renewables has tripled.

Especially the part about a third of the old capacity being retired. Who wants to complain about that and why that happened?

But what the OP says about the real problem behind climate change is that it's population growth. Emissions are down to Victorian levels? When almost all energy was from burning coal? That's the scale of the problem. In 1750, at the dawn of the industrial age, there were 750 million people on our Earth. Now there's 10 times that and while our average energy use per person is anybody's guess, it's probably well over 1000 times that in 1750.

Every time the grid pulls power from renewables it drives up the cost of coal, gas, oil and nuclear plants to generate power. Every new wind farm brings down the price of new windmills and generates revenue for R&D to make bigger and more efficient windmills (double the diameter of the blades and you cube the output).

I will again note that Texas went from less than 1% of it's electricity from wind to over 17% in about 15 years. It's a process and now they are building solar farms in West Texas for when the wind doesn't blow. They didn't do this out of ideology, they did it because that what the numbers supported.
