“Solar power investment is set to outstrip spending on oil production this year for the first time, the head of the International Energy Agency has said, highlighting a surge in clean energy development that will help curb global emissions if the trend persists. … This year $1.7tn is forecast to be spent on clean technologies compared with $1tn on fossil fuels.
