While I agree coal is one the way out in the US, it will take 20+ years or more to leave places like China and Russia.
They spew all dirty forms of energy.
Solar and alternative fuels have been on the drawing board and in action for 25-30 years but still only 10%, some of which is FORCED usage.
The cleanest energy of all is nuclear but no one wants to go there.
If alternative can get to 33% that would be a miracle and help a lot but that is decades away, especially for China, Russia and India, three places with 3 billion people and the biggest 3 polluters on Earth.
