Chapter 1: 2024 in review -- record rise in renewables pushes clean power generation above 50% of global electricity --

Record renewables growth helped push clean power to a new milestone. However, heatwaves contributed to high growth in electricity demand, which resulted in a small increase in fossil generation.

But wow, one has to read it closely to see the Real Story! Actually two stories. And both stories buried.

The first story: global electricity demand grows at the third-highest level in the last decade. And that's before the LDCs start to come into play. 

The second story: the world's three largest power consumers -- China, India, and the US -- saw an increase in fossil generation in 2024, while the world's fourth largest, the EU saw a decline.

But, to repeat: the EU saw a decline.
