    The trend in primary energy consumption is that there is no substitution/transition to renewable, but addition/stacking on top of existing consumption. So the fossil fraction remains about constant.

    Of course, the fossil part will be going away shortly, but then you can’t build current renewable infrastructure without fossil/mineral resources, so it’s an extender/multiplier of fossil.
