When did you last look at the current state of renewables? Even two years ago, the picture was completely different, but renewables are absolutely catching up. The change is fast and accelerating.
17% of energy production in the US is now renewables.
26% in China.
46% in Germany.
The economic case for deploying renewables continues to improve, and will soon hit a tipping point where operation of legacy generation systems will be more expensive than deploying and operating newer ones. Even in the US, who will want to be in the coal business then? The companies all know this, and are all pivoting from being coal|gas|x-companies to being energy-companies.
