Energy analysts are celebrating findings that show the renewable power sector has proved itself capable of expanding at a rate faster than increasing demand for electricity. The first step to ending the grip of expensive and polluting fossil fuels is to build enough clean power to meet the world's growing appetite for electricity.".
