Why would i discredit coal consumption figures ? If they have fluctuations in demand and the consumption keeps rising which is correct ?

I can debate all the shut down closures etc etc But if its still being consumed at a higher rate all those figures mean nothing .
Covid19 will have an impact just like any crisis does . If people are not shifting to electric cars in droves even with coal being cheaper in the past are they going to now?

The only shift will be when they are mandatory of any signifgence to make a difference imo
