Financial Times: Global clean power output grew faster than electricity demand last year, according to new figures which analysts argue represent a structural shift away from fossil fuels that would persist beyond the Middle East war…
…Renewable energy sources also generated more electricity than coal-fired power stations in 2025, Ember said, “for the first time in the modern power system”, extending a trend first seen in the first half of last year.
My Opinion: You should start divesting from energy companies that don't have a plan to transition away from fossil fuels. These fossil fuels companies have got windfalls during the energy crises due to war. But the wars have accelerated the transition to clean tech and energy, as countries want economic security. So short term gains, but long term losses.
Only in authoritarian or petro states is there resistance to the transition to clean energy. Fossil fuels had a good run, powering the industrial revolution. But now it's the beginning of the end.
We are in a new age, or what some might call the next industrial revolution. With artificial intelligence, robots, and synthetic biology. And this revolution should be powered by renewable energy.
Structural shift away from fossil fuels, to renewable energy

The structural shift point is the one that matters. Clean power growing faster than electricity demand is the inflection where renewables stop just adding capacity and start actually displacing fossil generation. The war windfalls cut both ways: fossil majors made money during the shocks, but every one of those shocks tightened the policy case for electrification because governments saw what dependency actually costs.

Is gonna be funny when US is still burning dino corpses in 50 years.
Like stepping into a Western movie with coal powered locomotives and gas lamps.
