[GWSG] Renewable energy grows; probably fast enough for 2C

[Tilley, Al]

1. 99% of new power generated globally last year was from renewables. Battery prices continue to fall rapidly, leading to the growing cost advantage of renewables plus batteries over commercial methane. This Australian story is a comprehensive portrait of the global energy picture. https://reneweconomy.com.au/solar-wind-meet-99-pct-of-new-global-demand-as-batteries-help-deliver-round-the-clock-resource/

2. An AI study projects that renewable energy will grow rapidly enough to limit warming to 2C, but that a limit of 1.5C, while possible, is unlikely. https://www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2026/04/an-ai-trained-on-13000-virtual-worlds-just-projected-our-renewable-energy-future/
