Renewable energy surpassed coal as the world's leading electricity source in the first half of this year, marking a historic milestone according to global energy think tank Ember. This unprecedented shift is being driven by countries like China, India, Pakistan, and Nigeria, which are rapidly expanding their renewable energy capacity. The achievement represents a significant turning point in the global energy transition away from fossil fuels. However, the progress isn't uniform worldwide as the United States and Europe have increased their reliance on gas and coal during the same period. This divergence highlights the uneven pace of the renewable energy transition across different regions despite the overall global shift toward cleaner power sources.
