This is caused by the cost of solar declining 89% in the last decade [1]. Batteries are next [2]. Which leads us to solar and batteries powering the world [3]. Extrapolate exponential growth of generation and storage, not linear. There is >1TW of generation and hundreds of GWs of renewables and storage (respectively) in aggregate across all US grid operator queues, for example [4]. Similar story in China [5].

(obvs we have a long way to go, just need to push the pedal to the floor; enough sunlight falls on the Earth in 2 minutes to power humanity for a year [6], and space is not a concern [7] [8])
