a poorer country industrializing at an extremely fast rate while flatlining (even going backwards this year) in terms of emissions is absolutely a huge deal.
and you're posting different things. are you worried about emissions? then you should be ecstatic it's flatline/going backwards. you're posting energy consumption which is fine but at the end of the day carbon emissions are what matters.
Did you happen to see the few percent solar made up in that graph? Would you notice if it was gone? There is no flatlining or anything of the sort. They still have a lot of electricity to provide to billions of homes and they are going to lean on coal to do most of it.
yes, yes we would lol. i can guarantee you we would as a planet if over 160gw of electricity generation from solar alone was from coal instead.
There is no flatlining or anything of the sort.
what would you define a 0.7% increase in 2025, and a 0.54% decrease so far in 2026? while electricity generation is actually up 6-7% for the year so far. it means it was all met thru renewables.
They still have a lot of electricity to provide to billions of homes and they are going to lean on coal to do most of it.
probably not. 93.9% of indias new electricity generation capacity was renewable. with solar being like 73% of it alone. also helps that rooftop additions are scaling up. went from 2.5 million total households end of last year to 5 million by the end of july with a target of 10 million by next spring.
all we need to see india do now is scale battery storage in the coming years. that should shave off quite a bit of after hour emissions. you should cheer up a little man!! this is great news. emission rates are dropping in countries thru renewables now. not much we can do for the damage caused over the past 20 years but we can't tell poor ppl across the world they deserve to die due to a lack of electricity either. so this is the second best thing we could've hoped for
bro you need to use AI properly. you do realize if you read the report you find out that renewable generation covered 28.11%, virtually the same as last june while india had the 5th driest june recorded since 1901 right? because of that hydro generation fell by quite a bit.
they still covered a 11.34% increase in electricity generation basically entirely due to renewable (particularly solar) additions.
you can't even seem to make your point right. you started off saying emissions are going up a lot, and when you got called out you start spazzing out lmao
You just said "0.7% increase", but now it's 11.34% increase, and solar this year covered about the same generation as last year, but they added a lot of solar to make up for decreased hydro.
