New tech often takes off slow but hits exponential adoption later on. If you look at oil production from 1900 to 1973, for example, it grows by ~7% every year

New tech often takes off slow but hits exponential adoption later on. If you look at oil production from 1900 to 1973, for example, it grows by ~7% every year but after that it has only grown linearly by ~326TWh/year since -73. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/oil-production-by-country?country=~OWID_WRL https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/oil-production-by-country... Meanwhile, renewable energy generation has grown at a decent rate the last 20 years, so if it goes exponential (if it hasn't already) the chances are... okay? Hopefully? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/renewable-energy-gen https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/renewable-energy-gen
