What am I mistaken about? Do you know how it increased 5 fold in the last 10-years? Because it's easy to have lots of growth when your numbers are small. Also, the tech has improved.
And again, you're talking 10-years. To solve this issue you need multiple decades.
You seem to be talking about the past 10-years, while I'm saying for that the problem we've got of being dependent on fossil fuels which has been developed over the past 100+ years. 30-years or so ago. Solar for example wasn't that good. Hydro was a concern and expensive. So while, we have been making good strides in the past 10-years, there is 100+ years of stuff you need to combat. The past 10-years proves the future, but, it doesn't automatically undo the past nor does it remove the fact that renewable energy when it first came out was inefficent.
