Global energy shifts as renewables surpass coal, led by China and India

Renewable energy has surpassed coal as the world's primary electricity source for the first time, marking a significant global energy shift. This transition is largely driven by the Global South, particularly China and India, which are leading in solar and wind power deployment due to falling costs. Advanced economies face slower progress due to policy issues, while China's manufacturing dominance in green tech influences global supply chains and geopolitical power.
