I'm honestly surprised it's set to fall. I thought we were still increasing fossil fuel use.

Thank China. Just this year they built more solar infrastructure than the US has in total.

True, guess the silver lining of the planet becoming uninhabitable is we were at least generally heading in the right direction to be able to prevent it from occurring...

thing is I usually see things about coal increase and we are back to the peak oil situation now that easy fraking is gone. I know they want to export fraking more internationally and im betting there is going to fraking2 - harder, deeper, longer coming out or just getting it in protected areas. So long story short im betting lower oil/gas with greater coal (also don't forget russia can't move its stuff as easily)
