#FunFactFriday: Renewables and clean energy finally on track to overtake fossil fuel investments, with Solar reaching over $1 billion every day! News Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/25/investment-in-fossil-fuels-set-to-exceed-1-trillion-in-2023-iea-says.html

@mattferrell when I see stories like this I wonder how people handled the transition to the current thing...fossil fuels in this case

Were there economic, social, political struggles that had to be overcome? Was there a be tipping point where it's finally became the norm? Etc

However, I don't know what the dominant energy source was before oil. I am thinking it wasn't just one main source

What do you think?

@MarkKozel that’s a really good question. I haven’t looked into that too deeply, but it would be interesting to compare. Curious if anyone else has input on that?
