Oh you ran the numbers!? If only you had led with that.

Even China has seen a stark reduction in the percentage of electricity generated from coal plants over the past decade. Are they deindustrializing?

Everyone knows coal is a dead end. Maybe you should run the numbers again.

That's a funny statistic to focus on when the actual use of coal for electricity has increased by 50% over the same period.

It's almost like they are using it to cover baseload or something.
