  1. This is great news. Combined with similar news lately from Europe, California etc., looks like a green future is looking promising. 5-10 years ago, things looked quite dire with lack of political and industrial will.

  2. Absolute numbers: twice as many wind and PV additions than the rest of the world combined

    Percentage-wise: much slower growth of the share of renewables than in Germany
