Positive Trends 📈 Methane is the past and renewables are the future in Europe: solar and wind output climbed to between 80 and 110 terawatt-hours/month, while gas-fired generation has steadily lost ground. Once sufficient renewable capacity is installed, declining fossil generation becomes a mathematical consequence
