ENERGY TRANSITION fun fact . Not fun for those pushing the RE narrative. In 1995 Fossil Fuels were 76.6% of Global Energy. In 2025 it’s 76.4% . In 30 years it’s only dropped 0.2% ! Sheesh 🙄. Asked Grok to verify- it’s TRUE . The detail :- Yes, the claim is broadly accurate based on specific datasets (with minor variations by source/year and a key caveat on definitions). https://t.co/qqj7HVI8mJ
It comes from charts and commentary (e.g., by Chris Martz and others) drawing on Energy Institute (formerly BP) Statistical Review of World Energy data, processed by Our World in Data. These use the substitution method for primary energy, which accounts for the primary energy equivalent of renewables/nuclear more consistently. https://t.co/7bNUZd3Kmw
Key Data Points
• ~1995: Fossil fuels (oil + coal + gas) accounted for ~76.6% of global primary energy.
• Recent years (2023/2024): This fell to ~76.4–76.5% (a ~0.1–0.2 percentage point drop). @chrismartzwx
This tiny change occurred even as total global energy demand grew substantially (driven by population and economic growth in developing countries), and despite trillions spent on renewables subsidies, deployment, and related programs. Renewables (especially wind/solar) grew in absolute terms and share of electricity, but not enough to meaningfully displace fossils in the overall primary energy mix. https://t.co/lMYrTkVOnr
Important Context and Caveats
• Standard reported figures are higher (~81–86%): Many sources (including Energy Institute summaries) cite fossil fuels at ~81.5% in 2023 (down slightly from ~82% prior years, or ~86% in 1995 in some references). This includes different handling of traditional biomass or direct vs. substitution methods. The claim aligns with the lower “modern/commercial energy” or substitution-adjusted view used in OWID charts. https://t.co/vBuNYkS7ep
• Absolute fossil use rose: The share stayed nearly flat because total energy demand increased. Fossils still dominate primary energy; low-carbon sources (renewables + nuclear) remain a minority.
• Spending context: Estimates of cumulative global investment/subsidies in renewables and transition efforts since ~1995 often exceed $10 trillion (varying by inclusion of public/private, infrastructure, etc.). Progress in electricity generation (where fossils are ~60%) has been faster than in transport, heating, and industry. https://t.co/slt1ow2JcA
In short, the statistic is true under the cited methodology—it highlights how stubborn the global energy mix has been despite policy pushes. For the most precise numbers, check the latest Energy Institute Statistical Review or OWID’s fossil fuels share chart.

@thedose__ Yes the commentators will make a big deal of it and channel 7 will interview some brisbane personalities for comment and the Brisbane coach will say he is extremely dissapointed.. media will report on this for days.
