World energy use is changing. Money and politics are now more important. Climate goals are less important.
Renewable energy is growing. But people still use more fossil fuels. Many new gas projects are approved. Oil countries want to make oil for a long time.
After a big meeting, countries make practical energy choices. They think only wind and solar power is risky. This is in Europe. High energy prices hurt Europe's plans. Canada will also make more energy.
A big reason is more gas for export. By 2030, there will be much more gas. Gas prices are falling. For example, Europe's gas prices are lower. The United States also sends more gas out. This helps lower prices. The EU wants to stop buying Russian gas. They need other gas.
Oil is also important. OPEC+ will make oil for many years. Saudi Arabia has a new gas field. It will make more gas by 2030. The United States makes more oil with new ways.
But the energy situation is hard. Problems in the Middle East can change oil prices. Countries also have disagreements.
These changes mean climate goals seem small. Making zero emissions by 2050 may be hard. Some think only renewable energy is not possible. This is because of the cost. World energy use is growing. A few countries have most of the world's oil.
