The renewable-energy boom is here. Trillions of dollars will be invested over the next 25 years, driving some of the most profound changes yet in how humans get their electricity. That's according to a new forecast by Bloomberg New Energy Finance that plots out global power markets to 2040.

Here are six massive shifts coming soon to power markets near you:

  1. Solar Prices Keep Crashing
  2. Solar Billions Become Solar Trillions
  3. The Revolution Will Be Decentralized
  4. Global Demand Slows
  5. Natural Gas Burns Briefly
  6. The Climate Is Still Screwed
