I reported news that in the first quarter of this year solar power-generating installations comprised 74% of new electricity generating installation http://thinkprogress.org/climate/201...at-commercial/
and predicted that by 2020 that anthropogenic atmospheric CO2 mass would drop dramatically ("huge" was the word that I used before this post). Sparko was the first to pooh-pooh that. John Reece joined in later.
It is indeed possible I will turn out to be wrong, but I might be right about the direction or trend if not the size of change.
I didn't mention battery technology, but it is also making dramatic progress.
I've mentioned Hawaii already before. Today is the year Hawaii begins to rely more on solar-and-batteries than on liquid fuel for electrical generators.
It is true that the world will continue to rely more on biomass for energy than on everything else for many years to come; an example is cow dung for cooking. But I think by 2025 biomass will comprise much less of the sources of energy percentage-wise than today. Dare I say a huge reduction? Yes. And the percentage will shrink year to year from then on.
