Science magazine has declared the growth of renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, to be the Breakthrough of the Year 2025, producing more electricity than coal for the first time in history."[2][3][4] This milestone signals the imminent arrival of "Peak Carbon", when global fossil fuel emissions will cease to increase.The main drivers are cheaper solar and wind energy technologies, along with lithium-powered batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage.[China dominates exports of these technologies and earns almost as much as the U.S. from fossil fuels, while its revenues are growing faster.4 However, the U.S. has failed to capitalize on its own innovations because of a regression in energy policy.[4] U.S. "break downs" include problems such as NASA layoffs, budget threats, and a 21% drop in donations to global health to $39.1 billion.[1][3] Global advances in renewables are slowing the growth of fossil fuel consumption, and China is on the cusp of a decline in coal consumption.[4]
