Yes, down from 52.89% that it was just as early as 2000, thats why it is a dying industry. And year after year its steadily declining. |
I reread my post and I realized it might sound like I'm pro-coal. I'd like coal phased out, but it's still such a large contributor to the US electricity output and there aren't many viable alternatives. Renewable sources are not sufficient in their current state. If the US wants to be coal-free, it will need to outsource a large portion of its electricity (which will most likely come from coal or oil anyways).
edit: Also, I'm sorry if it felt like I was singling you out. There were many people discussing coal and your post was one of the last ones I read.
