    Yeah I believe recently for the first time more renewables powered the US grid (over a month) than fossil fuels.

    The only thing stopping that progress is the utter destruction of world trade, and well, the US is trying their damndest to do that.

      That sure is a good thing and we’re going the right direction, sure, but globally we are still burning more fossil fuels than ever and also the effect fossil fuels have on the climate take 20 years to kick in (don’t ask me for details IANA scientist), so now we’re experiencing the damage we did until 2005 so yeah brace yourselves
