India has just scrapped plans for a new coal power plat, in favor of solar powered infrastructure. They cite their already massive output of coal energy as reasoning to abandon further coal based power plans for solar power, a more long term oriented solution they believe. India has hopes of becoming the world leader in renewable energy by the year 2030.
This is great news, especially when our own president insist on quite the opposite for America. President Trump has recently cut funding for renewable energy research programs in favor of bringing back coal mining jobs, a shrinking industry in America (for good reason). Researchers have said that there might still be hope for our atmosphere if we switch to renewable energy now, but if Trump has his way, that last chance may be lost for good, causing devastating and irreparable damage to our planet.
This can be synthesized to the industrial revolution, when new sources of energy change the way of life for people world wide, and set us upon the path we find ourselves today.
