| "was from a news story that did not correctly quote its own linked source document" (imagine a blink tag, I am) And was for one specific year. So in addition to "being false" and "you were so busy being angry you didn't bother to read", it's not even a reasonable claim to be exponential. Normally I wouldn't mind rolling with that as a hope for what might come, but you're being everything you're accusing everyone else here of being. > That is about one country's policy Policy? That actually makes it worse, because it implies Japan will not meet more than 1% of its demand that way. > Like I said, this is a major current event and guys like you are demanding proof of a massive global event that everyone should be aware of. Which in total is next to nothing: 1% over 15 years, if everyone matches Japan's proposal. And everyone else was telling you to actually dig up a link. Getting the link from you was like blood from a stone. |
And YOY means year-over-year, so if it's 50% over last year, then it's 50% YOY. You can interpretate that as exponential growth unless you are expecting growth to stall.
I don't see anywhere in that article that suggests this is just 1% of Japan's energy need. It should be a very significant portion.
Again, this is a major current event. You expect people to be aware of it, or can do the most basic of googling. A lot of people here apparently either are profoundly ignorant or totally in denial that it is happening.
