Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year: The unstoppable rise of renewable energy

"In Sept, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared at the U.N. that his country will cut its carbon emissions by as much as 10% in a decade, not by using less energy, but by doubling down on wind and solar.

To many, the continued growth of renewables now seems unstoppable—a prospect that has led Science to name the renewable energy surge its 2025 Breakthrough of the Year."

COVER of Science magazine 18 Dec 2025
Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year. See page 1208.
