A Startling Chart

I love a good-news chart, especially one related to climate change and renewable energy, though sometimes I can fool myself by not noticing that the years on the right side of the chart (the ones that show some drastic improvement) are in the future. Meaning they're speculative.

With that caveat, check out this chart:

The year farthest to the right is 2017. 

2017.

And wind and solar power dropped below gas ("natural" gas... fossil gas) in 2013 and 2015, respectively.

I kind of knew this, but at the same time I didn't really know they had both gone below gas, and definitely not that long ago.
