No, it is not confused. Be careful with reading precisely what I wrote. I said total energy production worldwide, not electricity production in the european union.
As you can see Solar is still a tiny percentage of energy consumption. That is not to say that things will not change—I certainly hope so! I give it significant probability. But if we are to be honest with ourselves than it is currently yet to be seen whether solar energy will prove to be the solution.
Moreover, in the case that solar energy does take over and ′ solve’ climate change that still does not prove the thesis—that solar energy solving climate change being majorly the result of deliberate policy instead of the result of market forces / ceteris paribus technological development.
