Both scenarios expect that growth in electricity demand can primarily be met by deployment of renewables such as solar, due to their falling costs. Today, coal-fired plants meet more than 60% of Indonesia’s power demand. Under the ETS, coal’s share rises to a peak of 74% by 2027 and then declines to 24% in 2050.

Oil, gas and coal workers have all known for more than a dozen years that their work was helping to destroy people’s health and well being. But they fiercely fought any and all attempts to transition to clean renewable. Those health bombs were dropped deliberately by the oil workers who cannot cop to a “I’m just a worker.
