Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.
Money β the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business β is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)
