The global transition to green energies is stagnated.

This is reported by various media. Put simply, global energy demand is rising faster than the expansion of renewable energies, or at least so fast that the increases are only marginally reflected in the overall balance. [bold, links added]
There is, for example, the German Taz (emphasis added):
A paltry two percentage points increase in an entire decade: In 2020, only 12.6 percent of global energy demand was met by renewable energies. In 2009, the figure was 10.6 percent. This is the conclusion drawn by the think tank REN21 in a report presented by energy experts on Wednesday.
According to the report, progress is being made in the expansion of power plants that produce renewable electricity, i.e. solar plants, wind turbines, hydroelectric power plants – but fossil capacities are not being reduced. Instead, energy demand continues to grow, eating up the renewables successes.
Otherwise, these would be remarkable. Just last year, there was another record in the addition of renewable power plants: a capacity of 314 gigawatts was connected to the grid. But because fossil fuels still account for around 80 percent of total energy consumption, a real transition to green energies is not taking place, warns REN21. This also jeopardizes the climate targets.”
The same report was featured also in Welt. This article is behind a paywall.
The fact that the share of renewable energy is not growing is bad enough from a climate protection perspective. It is also sobering that the 12.6 percent share of eco-energy is largely attributable to the burning of biomass, i.e., to a type of energy generation that is the subject of much environmental criticism.
The second-largest share, 3.9 percent, comes from hydroelectric plants – such as large dams – which are also highly controversial among environmentalists. In the REN21 report, solar and wind power, which are the focus of attention in Germany, together with geothermal energy, are estimated to account for only 2.8 percent of global energy production and are subcategorized under ‘other’.”

Read more at No Tricks Zone, a site infamous for its dishonesty, and misrepresenting facts out of context and Conspiracy-Pseudoscience, run by Pierre Gosselin initially denied humanity was affecting things, but after being thoroughly debunked conceded we did, but that “nature” will repair it.
He made a bet about AGW, and lost, totally, but just denied the temp increase is a problem.

It depends if one is talking about all energy or just electric power generation. International Energy Agency reports currently renewables are responsible for 23.2% of electricity generation. For all forms of energy including transport to have 12.6% be weather dependant energy is reasonable.
The day this site starts telling the truth will be victory for those fighting it’s junk science.
It’s “$Trillions For Nothing” itself is a lie, isn’t it. As is “The global transition to green energies is stagnated.”
From the cited report chart “renewable energies …. In 2009, the figure was 10.6 percent” Lie. the truth “10.6% Others” “8.7% Modern renewables”
2020, “Others” were down to 9.0% and “Modern renewables” were 12.6%.
Quote from the Report.”Modern renewable energy accounted for an estimated 12.6% of TFEC in 2020 (latest data available), up modestly from 8.7% in
2009″
So yet again this site is pushing lies to suit itls very, very obvious political agenda.
And you have been supporting and agreeing with this disinformation.
Thanks for confirming this channel is nothing but misinformation and lies.
“WRITTEN BY PIERRE GOSSELIN”.
As usual Pierre totally ignores the reality and blithely posts obvious lies.
Quote from the report cited.”Modern renewable energy accounted for an estimated 12.6% of TFEC in 2020 (latest data available), up modestly from 8.7% in 2009″
Gosselin “Green Energy Grows Only ‘Paltry 2% In Entire Decade’” Since when has 3.9 been 2?
Since when has modest been paltry.
Why don;t you start giving your readers facts instead of lies?
