You can’t use trends from 1980, because cheap renewables didn’t really exist until ~2023. 86% of all power generation china added in 2025 was renewable.

Renewable and battery is now ( recently) cheaper than coal. They are not stupid, that’s what they’re going to build, not coal. they’ll follow chinas trajectory closely, delayed by a couple of years. It’s well underway in Pakistan, just google their 2025 solar boom
