If we had tried to accelerate decarbonization by deploying 1980s solar technology, it would have cost a staggering $ 53.5 trillion to scale up solar to provide just 11 percent of
total global electricity supply, according to WRI's numbers.
So the off grid renewable component of electricity will remain a small and decreasing proportion of
total global electricity supply.

While
total output from low carbon technologies, such as hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and nuclear power, has continued to grow, their share of
