162 gigawatts (GW) or 62 per cent of total renewable power generation added last year had lower costs than the cheapest new fossil fuel option. Of the different renewable energy technologies concentrating solar power (CSP) fell by 16 per cent, onshore wind by 13 per cent, offshore wind by 9 per cent and solar PV by 7 per cent.

Two sturdy and growing sources of renewable energy, wind turbines and solar power, use negligible amounts of water. But other low-carbon technologies do not tread as lightly. Then there are more difficult maneuvers like trapping carbon emissions from power plants or pulling carbon directly from the air.
