43% natural gas, 15% coal those two alone make up 58% of the energy mix. This title is a straight up lie if the article is to be believed.

  Yes, and it's a lie. The amount of new renewable production capacity being built is higher for renewables than for new fossil fuel production capacity.
  
  I would've expected that to be a thing already, like most of the planet.
