News from IEA is that coal consumption may not fall over next 3 years (as predicted last year) but plateau instead.
Big movement in China especially, last year a 205 Mt drop, this year a 66 Mt increase for next 3 years.
Good news is all of this is dependent on reneables growth, see plot

Don't understand how anyone would have been able to gather all that wealth in the first place, if you're this reckless.
Also probably really good timing to cash out on the craze as the meme started to die down I guess.

I remember this was laughed away by anyone in industry or academia when this came out. 20 MW turbines were a fantasy: www.upwind.eu/Upwind-Repor...
Mingyang installed a 20 MW turbine, Dongfang produced a 26 MW last month, and Sany is preparing for 35 MW machines: www.rechargenews.com/wind/china-u...

Well if this was what was needed to get past those reviewers then why not?

I remember the panic about sea surface temps last year.
First time global avg above 21 deg, and a 0.4 deg jump vs previous records.

We're already another 0.4 degree above that record year, and above 21 deg avg now, with N hemisphere summer still months away
