The worrying thing about that stat is that China, India and other such quickly developing nations still have a vast % of their populations still in remote rural areas that are still very poor and not yet accessing the benefits of their nations development.
That will change, as these countries continue to lift their populations out of poverty and a like, the populations will then want access to electricity, cars, and all the trappings of modern civilisation ( and they deserve it) but the demand for power ( still best and cheapest provided by fossil fuels) will continue to increase.
So as China’s and India’s massive populations start to suckle on power more widely expect those figures to change.
