A new report from the research group Ember indicates that China's aggressive investment in clean energy is set to end the global growth of fossil fuel use.
China's dominance in these industries has driven down costs by 60-90% since 2010, making renewables cheaper than fossil fuels.
Last year, China met 84% of its electricity demand growth with solar and wind, cutting fossil fuel use by 2% despite growing power needs.
