They are predicting that we will keep adding fossil fuel capacity for the next 17 years but not past that point.

About 10 years later than ideal. But if we can get a storage breakthrough we could see a peak and downturn before then.

It really looks like fossil fuel use may be greatly impacted by water shortages, both for cooling and for NG extraction. Another reason we may see an earlier peak.

So on an absolute basis, the latter scenario does nothing to reduce coal. This whole analysis smacks of business as usual.
