BP Energy Outlook Predicts Renewable Energy Will Be Dominant By 2040

Global oil major BP published its annual Energy Outlook last week and predicted that renewable energy will become the dominant global source of power generation by 2040 at the same time as energy demand increases by around a third, driven primarily by rapid growth in Asia. BP’s annual Energy Outlook is often a time for anyone with even the slightest grudge against the fossil fuel industry to jump out of the woodwork to offer their two cents on the situation. At the same time as journalists around the globe are simply trying to present the facts of the Outlook, pundits, commenters, and miscellaneous use the time to instead focus on the past because, heaven forbid we should support someone’s growth by encouraging them in the steps they take.
