Despite challenges in 2024, the UK made significant strides in renewable energy production, reducing its dependence on fossil fuels to historic lows. The country's renewable electricity output increased by 122% since 2014, leading to a 70% decrease in carbon emissions per kilowatt hour. Wind energy has become a major contributor, poised to surpass gas-fired power by 2025. Coal, once the largest carbon emitter in UK energy production, has been largely phased out, positioning clean power to generate 95% of electricity by 2030. Conversely, the US saw marginal changes, with hopes for future progress as coal power declines.
