Certainly you’re right about the computers and gates and trains. But 9.8 watts per occupant may be enough to light the station when it’s in use.

I suppose.

• One story has the IEA saying global fossil fuel consumption will peak this decade.

• The other says declining fossil fuel prices will inhibit the transition away from fossil fuel use.

You’re right, the two things are consistent in that together they forecast a near-term peak followed be a very slow, drawn-out permanent decline.

I still think it would be much better journalism if the two things would both be discussed in the same news article.

This report (https://slrpnk.net/post/14308357) came out, on the same day, about the IEA saying basically the opposite of this. It seems like they don’t have a coherent story to tell.
