The chart below was data from only one year ago. How much more than next to nothing is it this year? 1.5 times .003 is still next to nothing

Sorry. I think you are somehow being greenwashed. Right now it is easy to increase by a certain percentage year on year when you start with next to nothing. The progression of solar and wind will become more linear. 15 years for solar to replace all energy? I'm very sorry. How do you get such an absurd statement?

Solar is currently listed as 450TWh out of 150,000 TWh. Which is .3%. Even if you were to stop making the common mistake of saying "energy" when you mean to say "electricity", which is 20% of total energy, solar is currently only 1.5%. IEA is forecasting solar to be 15% of total energy by 2050.
