That chart forecasts a consistent large use of coal and a rapid increase in power from oil after 2030. China's progress in renewable energy sources is good news, but these forecasts for coal and oil don't seem to be.

I think the rapid increase is actually for "solar + storage" not for "oil fired". Your first point obviously still stands.

You're right - my color vision let me down there. That's good news.
