Further, in this article it states that a separate peer-reviewed study found that in fact fossil fuels are still used for 82% of energy generation and that the 30% number was pulled out of someone's ass from what I can tell. And for the 30% number they're saying 16% is from hydropower and then the other 14% is 7% wind 7% solar. Somehow this math doesn't add up to me. I realize this is uplifting news and I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but I would like factually sourced articles.
energy generation and electricity aren't the same thing
