  #IEA #energy investment report in 02023 covering #photovoltaic, fossil fuels, nuclear, etc.; they say that in 02023 US$1740 billion in 02022 dollars will be invested in "clean energy" but are counting things like #electric-cars. This is up from about US$1225 billion in 02022 dollars in 02019 and exceeds the US$1050 billion in fossil-fuel investment, which is pretty steady since 02016. Renewable power investment in particular is some US$659 billion, up from US$451B in 02019. Nuclear is only US$63B. #Pricing for solar panels has remained steady since 02019.
