What an odd comparison. He is comparing the primary energy from hydrocarbons, which will go through a 70-80% energy reduction before it becomes final energy, to solar and wind energy which will go through a 5-10% reduction. So even in the most favorable, cherry-picked time period hydrocarbon and renewable energy consumption grew about the same rate.
