The Energy Transition in Five Charts and Not Too Many Numbers. RMI experts Sam Butler-Sloss and Kingsmill Bond distill the energy transition down to five crucial concepts.May 3, 2023 By  Sam Butler-Sloss,  Kingsmill Bond. The energy transition is driven by the exponential growth of renewables, and the key changes will happen by 2030. 1.The energy transition is a technology revolution. At the heart of the energy transition lies the fact that renewable technologies are far superior to fossil fuels.  2. The renewables revolution is exponential, not linear. When it comes to the renewables revolution, linear is the default perception, but exponential is the default reality. The growth of the key new energy technologies is exponential. It has been in the past, and it will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Companies and countries need to be quick to act, for it is hard to catch an exponential curve from behind. 3. The renewables revolution is led by China. Across manufacturing, deployment, and costs, China is far ahead of the rest of the world. 4.This is the decade of change. The 2020s are the disruption decade, where renewable technology sales race up the S-curve. If the energy transition were a novel, this decade would be its climax. 5. By 2030 the debate will be very different. By 2030, renewables will dominate the sales of energy-producing and consuming technologies. The green prize will be evident. Cheap renewables will be even cheaper. Fossil fuel demand will be off the current plateau and in clear decline. The negative externalities of fossil fuels will be increasingly weaponized.                   https://rmi.org/the-energy-transition-in-five-charts-and-not-too-many-numbers/
