The growing market for renewable energy sources is an important factor also for the electric car market, as it is the main way for plug-ins to achieve near true zero emission transportation.

Both strong policies to install new wind and solar energy projects, as well as sharp cost reductions, enabled renewables to overtake coal as largest source of installed power capacity in the world for 2015.

In 2015 some 153 GW of renewables (including 66 GW wind and 49 GW solar) were added – which was 15% more than in 2014.

Renewables are also to be the fastest-growing source of electricity generation over the next five years, increasing its market share from 23% in 2015 to 28% in 2021.

This is very encouraging and really good news.

This article can only be viewed as a positive but I will keep an eye out for more like it as sometimes the validity of something can be misleading depending what was happening globally at the time.

Only viewed as positive in my eyes
