Electricity from solar and wind increased while there was no change to the amount of electricity produced from burning fossil fuels.\n\n“We’re really talking about a large-scale change in how the energy system works. And solar is among the most scalable technologies that can deliver fast change,” said Nicolas Fulghum, senior data analyst at Ember.",
