      RES is attracting greater investments than fossil fuels. This suggests that green power is getting a large share of world capacity and generation, and could also be because the price of the project to produce energy from wind, solar, geothermal and small hydro is upfront. Fossil fuel plants cost less money to construct but have higher running costs, as the fuel has to be bought on a regular basis. Trade in renewable energy equipment and other investment goods and services will rise due to the scaled‐up employment in power and end‐use sectors. At the same time, this will decrease trade in other energy sources, particularly fossil fuels, which then can last longer for the earth. Therefore, due to the continuous employment in power and end‐use industries, trade in clean energy equipment and other investment products and service would rise. In comparison, the trade in alternative energy sources, particularly fossil oil, would decrease, which will be continued for a long time.
