    I’m surprised that solar isn’t yet big enough to be broken out on its own.

    I’m also surprised that natural gas is outgrowing everything else.

      Natural gas is just Methabe and is being pushed by big oil, since it needs all of the infrastructure they already have.

      We only recently developed the technology to make it more feasible. They used to just light it off and burn it at the wells when they would tap it.

        It’s just not feasible to scale to the point that we would need to scale it to sufficiently power our societies

        Anything to back that up?

      and that’s the problem. It’s not even enough of our power generation to be its own separate entity on the graph, but these people expect it to just magically power the planet in the next 5 years.
