The world will be fueled by electricity but even more clean energy is needed, report says

The world is set to make abundant energy by the second half of the decade as the production of batteries and solar panels surges but there’ll also be an excess of planet-warming fossil fuels, a report released Wednesday by the International Energy Agency said. It estimates that energy worldwide will increasingly rely on clean sources of electricity. But the report also notes that the world’s pace away from fossil fuels is still way off what’s needed to cap warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial times — the limit set in the Paris Agreement — because emissions would decline too slowly.
