Clean energy investment doubles fossil fuel spending globally

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Global investment in clean energy is significantly outpacing fossil fuels, with approximately $2.2 trillion allocated to clean sources compared to $1.2 trillion for oil, gas, and coal. Even when accounting for substantial government subsidies that artificially lower fossil fuel costs, clean energy investment remains dominant. This trend highlights a historic shift in energy finance, despite ongoing political challenges and the continued, though reduced, support for fossil fuels. AI
