"Global energy demand rose 1% last year and record renewables growth did nothing to shift the dominance of fossil fuels, which still accounted for 82% of supply, the industry's Statistical Review of World Energy report said."

Reuters, quoting

Perhaps this will be a dose of reality for those posting about the non-existent "energy transition", how super well it's going and how the problem's almost fixed.

MORE RENEWABLES DOES NOT MEAN LESS FOSSIL FUEL USE!

We must actively drive down FF use with high carbon taxes, moritoria on new infrastructure, AND the accelerated phase-out of existing FF burning stuff, like fossil cars, fossil boilers, fossil electricity plants, fossil metal refining...

Starmer's UK Labour party has a mission for uber-growth!

... same as UK right wing, and both US parties.

Capitalism/Populism have a total grip there at least until the next elections but one, when points will have tipped.

Not seeing much help from BRICS. Is there an EU degrowth superhero about to save the day?

@W_Lucht

I appreciate that Germany is dealing with an exceptional energy transition from Russian Gas, and that burning Lignite at all is criminal, and that the Lützerath battle is a crucial campaign in the war to save us from global warming. But...

At least those lines are going down, and the number are in Mt.

This is how much coal China extracts:

2020 3.902 Gt
2021 4.126 Gt (4.07 Gt also reported)
2022 4.4 Gt (est. based on 8m)

Enormous, more than RoW, and rising.

I don't know what actions other states could take to compensate for that increase and reduce global emissions to achieve 1.5C by 2100, or 2C for that matter.

They wanted fracking, they wanted to stop onshore wind farms - but they have got their 400,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year. 😡🤬
