Solar and wind energy are growing rapidly across the world. Solar energy alone grew nearly 6x between 2017 and 2025. So why is the world still heavily dependent on fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas?

In this video, we explain:

Why renewable energy still hasn’t replaced fossil fuels
How global electricity demand is rising rapidly
Why coal and gas usage are still increasing
The real challenge behind the clean energy transition
Why solar energy alone cannot power the world yet
The problem of energy storage and battery costs
Why gas is still critical for electricity supply
How the world is currently running on a “dual energy system”

Global electricity demand increased from ~25,400 TWh in 2017 to ~31,800 TWh in 2025, making the transition much more complicated than most people think.

This video breaks down the economics, infrastructure challenges, and energy realities behind the global renewable transition in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
