The news article is written in percent talk.

It says that the percentage is the same, but the use of energy has risen by more than 100 exajoules in this century.

After 50 years of mindless cheering the metal intensive useless wind and solar industries don't provide 11 of these.

The fastest growing source of energy on this planet in the 21st century has been coal, which grew by more than 60 exajoules to 157.

Despite endless and mindless criticism, the nuclear industry, using technology developed in the 1950s and 1960s, has been in terms of ENERGY producing almost 30 exajoules per year for decades.

Percent talk, selective attention and wishful thinking is destroying this planet, and the IEA, if not the general public is sounding an alarm, too little, too late, but it is what it is.

We will not be forgiven for our rote appeals to ignorance, nor should we be.
