If you don't see an energy transition there you are turning a blind eye to it. Any special reason you are doing that?

Quotes from or about Bill McKibben on the subject of renewables.

"Bill McKibben advocates for a rapid, global transition to solar and wind energy, highlighting them as the cheapest and most effective tools to fight climate change. He emphasizes that renewable technology is now standard, mature, and rapidly growing, often outperforming fossil fuels in cost-efficiency."

"He frequently highlights that "the sun doesn't send a bill," noting that energy abundance is no longer exclusive to wealthy nations."

"McKibben often highlights that the energy density of renewables has reached a point where, paired with battery storage, they can reliably power modern economies."

"This is the Costco of energy, man".
