Solar and Wind started at 0.06% in 2001. That was 0.75TWh. In 2025 they made 21.83% with 2310.4TWh. That's a lot of electricity and explains why the other generation methods have gone down proportionally. This doesn't indicate a transition because the total generation has massively risen too. Hydro over the same period grew from 277.43TWh to 1397.06TWh, but by percentage dropped from 18.74% to 13.2% - I don't think anyone would argue that China is transitioning away from hydro.

For a transition to occur we would need to see a plateau and reduction in coal generation, not a 5x increase.

Too much trouble having them around; you don't want too many people knowing the trick

You're carrying a very expensive device full of highly sensitive data that for many people is their primary computer that contains their digital life.

It is made out of easily damaged materials like glass and aluminium that don't offer much grip because they are smooth, and the shape doesn't offer much grip because it is so thin.

And you think: "Should I put a cheap protective case on this in case I drop it or it gets damaged? Should I take the most basic precaution to look after this expensive and fragile thing that I carry with me wherever I go?"

"No - that would spoil the way it looks."
