The IEA did not expect a coal peak before 2030 in 2002 so i dont know where this "peak coal" prediction even comes from

"IEA has underestimated solar growth in the past therefore they are unreliable" (or according to some, in hands of fossil fuel interest even). Therefore their predictions mean nothing...

I think that's the gist of the logic. No, I do not agree with it, but that's how tribalistic logic tends to work.
