      That is historical consumption not new installs, but even from this there is a clear trend that can be extrapolated. Energy companies, the greediest fucks in human history are choosing renewables because economically it is the best choice.

        The trend in primary energy consumption is that there is no substitution/transition to renewable, but addition/stacking on top of existing consumption. So the fossil fraction remains about constant.

        Of course, the fossil part will be going away shortly, but then you can’t build current renewable infrastructure without fossil/mineral resources, so it’s an extender/multiplier of fossil.
