The world is aiming for solar and wind to replace fossil fuels, growth looks like this:
We're adding around 120GW per year yet when you look at the first chart it doesn't even seem to be enough to compensate for a small portion of the growth of demand.

But hey I'm a "naysayer", let's all push our head in the sand and keep thinking it's going to resolve itself.
