    You said it was their trajectory. It’s not. Renewables are a part of their plan, sure, but that coal graph isn’t turning around.

      Add data from this year.

      From several sources, they passed peak carbon last year, and expect coal to peak this year or next and start declining.

      Also consider during the time in those charts they went from a developing country to mostly developed with much higher standard of living. They achieved a century of economic progress in a couple decades while simultaneously rolling out renewable energy faster than anyone else

      Your own graph shows the ratio of renewables to coal hugely shooting up in the last 4 years.

        Yes, but do you think that rate is good enough given they are still growing coal at a massive rate?
