Although the result of the Brexit vote has questioned the efficacy of future research into climate change, green energy sources continue to be growing continually in spite of this. Sourced through online platforms, 147 gigawatts of renewable energy were generated in 2015; and this is set to continue and even rise in growth. In 2015, $130bn were invested in fuels that were seen as an alternative to coal and gas-fired modes of energy consumption. Furthermore, from the total amount of electricity produced globally, renewable sources contributed 10.3% of this overall amount.
