Not everyone agrees. Greenpeace&#x27;s analysis suggests that the new coal capability isn&#x27;t being used (yet), which has lead to a 4% drop in actual coal consumption this year:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;energydesk.greenpeace.org&#x2F;2015&#x2F;11&#x2F;09&#x2F;2015-the-year-global-coal-consumption-fell-off-a-cliff&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;energydesk.greenpeace.org&#x2F;2015&#x2F;11&#x2F;09&#x2F;2015-the-year-gl...</a><p>Their analysts are working on the ground in China, whereas many other Western agencies just look at official numbers... So the truth may be somewhere in between, but Greenpeace&#x27;s analysis can&#x27;t be summarily discounted.
