Sure, we are terribly behind schedule and will take losses for it (in what form I do not know, but for sure it won't be pretty).

But we need more and more energy and will need more, and even that growth in that graphic is not enough to prevent fossil fuel use from growing. At least until people wisen up that we'll just need to learn to make do with less energy per capita... I'm not convinced that part will ever happen.

Not to mention I'm not sure how much wind and solar you can do at the same time in the world. At some point everyone will need the same materials...
