Unfortunately our doubting @ThomasASpencer is not done with misreading yet, since he is wont give up his evangelical conviction that we sinners are not embracing salvation. @KanitkarT @JMauskar @DrTongia @DrSimEvans @moefcc @Sandeeppaii. First, patenting.
We make clear our patenting remarks refer to technology in climate change mitigation technologies (CCMT), category identified by EPO. Based on PATSTAT online and OECD Stat for analysis. @ThomasASpencer talks about all patenting in all OECD. IRRELEVANT!
Just plotting the movement of prices does not show tech change is under way. Diffusion yes, but real innovation? We have to explain both the fall in prices and the fall in patenting. The first does not negate the other. What about RE subsidies and a regulatory helping hand?
On RE and manufacturing. Look at facts for Germany. TFC for industry 58 MTOE, with 25% from electricity (IEA). Total RE consumption is 32MTOE, with 32% for industry, that is about 10 MTOE for industry (IRENA), only 17% of TFC. All data 2017/2018.
We haven't even got to technology capacities, costs, etc., the grid management problems that Germany is facing and the loss incurred because of these grid management issues, soaring bills for consumers and the like.

This is Germany, the global leader. At the most charitable, they haven't even got it right yet, though they are trying. You think based on this India can bet our future in manufacturing will grow even if we stop all new coal, here and now?
Look up comparable figures for India and what do u think you will see?! To be fair and transparent, we should have clarified that India's coal dependence in industry is not only through elec. but also non-elec. consumption. I have the nos., but evangelists please check it out!!
Not my business to keep on answering those who do not read carefully, or provide an education what India's challenges are as a developing country, notwithstanding the hubris in Delhi.
