China's coal consumption has stalled (they still build plants as a jobs program but the vast majority are mothballed or to replace older less efficient plants) and India's grid fell below 50% coal for the first time in 60 years this year.
China's car market is now close to 50% NEV (BEV, FCV and long range plug in hybrids). All the while producing more than half of the world's install capacity in renewables. They are on track to doing their part all the while the USA is been found to under report methane emmisons by more the half actual values.
Frankly the USA is behind china and has been caught lying about emmisons.
yeah the methane emissions thing is scary and definitely something we need to get on top of..
but yeah good to hear coal is slowing
It will as it has joined nuclear as the most expensive option. Thanks to the EV revolution dropping the cost of storage. Renewables are now just cheaper. It is what has driven the renewables boom in India as well (as well as the fact that a distributed grid is easier to build a cross a poorer area that had no power before hand, just like we saw cellphones in large parts of Africa gmthat never had land lines).
