Despite the green revolution, and record energy use, the world still runs on 82% fossil fuels « JoNova (joannenova.com.au)

Total renewables is 7.5% of “Primary Energy” but includes biomass, geothermal, and tidal etc (but not hydro). Stripping away the “other renewables” leaves wind + solar at 6.1%. Wind power now (theoretically) makes 3.75% of total global primary energy. Solar makes 2.4%. This is an incredible statistic that most people would not believe, but it is a fact. There is no way we will reach net zero by 2050. It is simply a non-starter, as these figures show.
