Renewable energy overtook coal power to become the largest source of electricity in the world for the first half of 2025.

The production rates of energies like solar and wind “fluctuate according to the weather, the time of day and the season,” said OilPrice.com . For example, when the “sun is shining and solar panels are producing the most energy,” it “also happens to be when the lights are switched off and relatively few people are home using appliances.” This
