They seem to have achieved peak coal and coal use is slowly declining. Its percentage of the energy mix has been declining over the last decade.
That’s not great, but it is a positive. And certainly better than we feared a decade ago.
The world isn’t static.
I have to say that China will probably be a major force in reducing carbon emissions. Yes, China burns a lot of coal; but they also produce and deploy a lot of solar, wind, and soon nuclear energy. Someone else said it better: future will run on China’s batteries.
