Found something remarkable (and also quite sad).
In 1997, Wired published "The Long Boom", a hyper-optimistic article about how we'd achieve Utopia by 2020.
The authors included notes on some "scenario spoilers"โnegative events that might send is in a worse direction.
...and those spoilers turned out to be almost spookily accurate.
โNot many people realise that 15% of energy-related GHG emissions come from the process of getting oil and gas out of the ground and transported to consumers. If those emissions were a country, they would be the second largest emitter, after China. How do we reduce them?๐งตโ
Big news: India amends power policy draft to halt new coal-fired capacity
Existing projects in the pipeline unaffected, but this is still a major shift. It also puts China's outlier position in starker contrast.
India plans to stop building new coal-fired power plants, apart from those already in the pipeline, by removing a key clause from the final draft of its National Electricity Policy (NEP), in a major boost to fight climate change, sources said.

โShell has released its latest vision of how the world could stay below 1.5C of warming New @CarbonBrief analysis shows that it requires oil & gas growth to end *immediately* This comes as the oil firm floats plans to...pump more oil. So what's going on? https://t.co/DkQmnUYdhyโ

China has endured two consecutive summers of power shortages & is building more coal plants to shore up supply
But shortages were not caused by a lack of coal capacity. In fact, utilisation of existing plants is very low. The real culprit? Market inefficiencies

Ammonia co-firing can be worse than coal, and leave SEA countries at risk of stranded assets.
