Research: wind and solar energy will become cheaper by 2030 than analogues
A pandemic slows the transition to clean energywhich, according to scientists, is not happening fast enough and is not able to stop climate change. “The industry has been on a huge rise until the last month or two,” said Tom Kearnan, general director of the American Wind Energy Association. “This turn of events is staggering, it is difficult to understand how we will get out of this problem.”
According to Wood Mackenzie, a consulting company,the number of new solar installations worldwide will fall by 17%, and the production of wind turbines - up to 20%. Fossil fuels, such as natural gas and coal, will remain the leading sources of energy in most countries, and nuclear power will strengthen its presence in the United States.
