"We are at a turning point, from fossil fuels"
Maybe in their own minds. I have found that politicians and reporters are particularly horrible at math.
To be at a real turning point solar and wind would need to be near out producing at least one type of fossil fuel source or out pacing fossil fuel plants being built for total production capacity built, not these fake name plate capacity numbers you always see them showing off.
So that's not happening and isn't going to be happening for a long time.
The only renewable that's not just a blip on the total production pie chart is hydro power, and hydros market share has been slowly shrinking over the last 20 years as demand for drinking water and irrigation has increased with no new hydro dams being built and other forms of power generating capacity being added.
