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).

A bigger deal is that these lead laced perovskites will be killing people in 25 years. NNadir Aug 2020 #2

World's coal has been falling since 2013, albeit not in a straight line. 2019 lower by 3.3% progree Aug 2020 #11
BTW, this says 0.8 gram per sq meter of perovskite PV Finishline42 Aug 2020 #5
Yep. I run into this type of claim all the time Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #8
Wow, "solar scam"? Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #6

The solution is in cheaper and denser "battery" tech Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #10
0.8 grams of lead "isn't much?" For whom? NNadir Aug 2020 #12
So, much misinformation Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #13
Really? Misinformation? "Fake news?" "Talking points" Your references for this claim are what? NNadir Aug 2020 #16

Sigh. Bye. hunter Aug 2020 #31
Yes, bye indeed. Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #32
I wonder what the cost and life span is of this type of solar panel. I have a total of 30 panels, in2herbs Aug 2020 #3
The panels are warranted to 80% rated output for 25 years Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #7
Y'all really shouldn't beat each other up so much... k2qb3 Aug 2020 #14
I agree but while we are investing in long-term renewable energy why can't solar be an in2herbs Aug 2020 #15

My thought has been a program to expand solar for schools and govt Finishline42 Aug 2020 #28

Solar+battery works Miguelito Loveless Aug 2020 #23
