In this century, the solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal energy on which people so cheerfully have bet the entire planetary atmosphere, stealing the future from all future generations, grew by 9.76 exajoules to 12.27 exajoules.
12.27 exajoules is slightly over 2% of the world energy demand.
2019 Edition of the World Energy Outlook Table 1.1 Page 38] (I have converted MTOE in the original table to the SI unit exajoules in this text.)

I don't think most readers have access to Table 1.1, maybe you meant to link to your excellent tables,
here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/122866874
and particularly here for the summary table where the "other renewables" line matches the numbers in the excerpt above: https://www.democraticunderground.com/122866874#post1
which I also swiped and pasted below:
(To enlarge: in Chrome, for example, right click on the table and choose "open image in new" tab or window. Click on that tab or window. Then hit F11 for full screen)
Edited to add:
Anyway, I hope you don't mind me adding this link and "exposing" your table.
I draw readers' attention to the last row: Fossil Fuel Percentage, where even in 2040 in the "Sustainable Development" scenario, it's 61.0% of the total. (But I'm getting 43.5% -- still terrible).

OP
A bigger deal is that these lead laced perovskites will be killing people in 25 years.
