the coal that we burn. china may well still be burning a great deal of: 2050. the question is how much of that coal will be burned in tech elegies that capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide. i think two things are going to happen going forward to tend to increase the fraction of coal that is used that ends up with the co2 captured and sequestered and tends to increase as well the contribution of other clean energy to elegies as opposed to uncontrolled burning of fossil fuels. the first of those that do this that i believe unfortunately the symptoms of damage from climate change will continue to escalate, which will motivate countries to move rapidly in the direction of replacing the height admitting to elegies with automating technologies. the second thing i happened is the technological advances make it less expensive to make those transitions than we currently expect. so both of those forces will move in that direction of decreasing emissions from the energy sector over time and an even greater rate
