- epistasis 1y agoYour plots, which go all the way from 1800 to 2024, do show a massive massive leveling out of fossil fuels in the last decade, however. When going through a surge in energy demand, old resources usually don't get retired very quickly. For example, with gas in the US, there was something like 5GW of new gas expected to be added in the US, and 1.6GW of old plants retired. But that's all dwarfed by the amount of storage and solar going in.
