also from the source

* Ireland closed its last coal plant
* Turkey has only 1 new coal plant in development after recent cancelations( additionally,Europe has only couple small coal plants in development in Bosnia that might not even get built)

outside China and India, the global coal development pipeline keeps shrinking for the 3rd year in a row

and even in China the utilization rate of coal plants is going down

**some new coal plants allowed in China this year are planned to have an utilization rate of just 20% , and be used to fill in sudden seasonal demand surges or wind output decline**

so its really only India and Indonesia where coal use and capacity are still growing rapidly, and even that might not be for long
