The University of Exeter, in partnership with the Earthshot Prize, publishes a report analyzing 51 priority areas across five environmental goals. The analysis identifies clean electricity as the highest-leverage transition because cheaper solar and wind power accelerates change beyond the energy sector, improving economics of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and cleaner industrial processes.
“The cascade of clean energy that we're seeing now is just doing so much more than anybody expected even 10 years ago.”

No mention of dirty polluting AI and data centers counteracting most of the gains currently being made? And forever wars of course.
