Other part of the equation is how do we reduce consumption e.g. moving to LED based lighting, natural cooling etc.
The less energy we consume, the less energy we need to generate
The less energy we consume, the less energy we need to generate
The best way to tackle cooling/heating is by improving insulation, but unfortunately, there is little ability/reason to. Those that would get the most utility out of it are poor and therefore cannot afford it. Those who can afford it are rich, and therefore don't care about a few dollars lost to heating/cooling the outside air. Even if the rich do care, it often isn't worth the emotional/mental hassle of having massive construction done to your abode.
There was a noticeable decrease in our personal electricity consumption when we switched to LED bulbs (our heating and hot water are gas)

You can bicker over the timelines when coal is switched off permanently and lots of people seem to argue that the timeline in this article is a bit optimistic but the reality is that there's lot of growth in this sector with year on year increases in deployed capacity, price drops, etc.
