So is coal power production going down, or are renewables growing faster?

Edit: looks like they’re still adding coal capacity

Yes, that edit.

Im not trying to be hard on renewables at all, just that in terms of greenhouse gases we are still dumping more and more of them into the air. Just the growth of our carbon farts is a bit slower.

The power demand growth is insane, and the cost might be too high.

IIRC China does not yet see an easy way to solve the whole “in the winter the sun shines less” problem… So here we are.

Nuclear is pretty good for base load, but they’re building may of those too.
