The EvidenceDeveloped countries across the globe have experienced gradual yet significant rises in their adoption of renewable energy sources. This is largely due to the fact that the cost of two major forms of renewable energy; wind and solar power, are falling dramatically. Although the evidence above conveys a bullish and buoyant future for the adoption of renewable energy sources, the undeniable truth is that widespread renewable energy adoption is an unattainable and distant dream for many countries, particularly those who are undeveloped and unable to implement such technologies. Across the rest of the globe, renewable energy production is increasing exponentially as a result of falling wind and solar prices, meaning that large parts of the world could potentially run entirely on renewable energy sources in the not too distant future. However, on the whole, there is room for a high level of optimism and excitement with regards to the growth of renewable energy production levels across the globe, as a result of an evident and integral renewable energy revolution.

10 things you need to know from the World Energy Outlook 2017
This week's World Energy Outlook 2017 report from the International Energy Agency tells the story of an energy industry on the brink of a seismic shift, as it struggles to deal with the twin pressures of decarbonization and rising energy demand. From a shift in the geopolitical center of the global energy market to the predicted trajectory of individual technologies, here's your need-to-know guide to this bumper report. Global energy demand is only going one way: upBy 2040 global energy demand will be 30 percent higher than today, the IEA stated, while acknowledging that without improved energy efficiency the increase would be twice as high. Energy efficiency rules have helped slow demand growth in the country over recent years and will continue to bite into energy demand, set to rise only by 1 percent a year between now and 2040. China is set to be the linchpin of the global energy transition around which markets move, the IEA said.Solar Power Rapidly Expands, But So Does Oil Use, in New World Energy Outlook
as mentioned in Solar power will surge globally in the coming decades, but oil demand will also continue to grow, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency. "Solar is forging ahead in global power markets as it becomes the cheapest source of electricity generation in many places," said Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA. That means that, despite the rapid deployment of wind and solar power worldwide, global CO2 emissions will continue to rise until 2040, "far from enough to avoid the severe impacts of climate change," the IEA said. The World Energy Outlook says that China, in an effort to reduce severe air pollution in major cities, will lead in the development and deployment of increasingly efficient solar photovoltaic panels. The IEA also predicts that wind power will become the leading source of electricity generation in the European Union shortly after 2030.World Energy Outlook 2017
