Coal's share of total U.S. electricity generation falls below 40% in November and December - Today in Energy - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
Although still the largest single fuel for electricity generation, coal's share of monthly power generation in the United States dropped below 40% in November and December 2011. The last time coal's share of total generation was below 40% for a monthly total was March 1978. A combination of mild weather (leading to a drop in total generation) and the increasing price competitiveness of natural gas relative to coal contributed to the drop in coal's share of total generation
Native Washingtonian and progressive liberal democrat (and active voter). Retired when "W" took over the white house, I knew the "Clinton-like" years were over. Sadden by the current state of the country's political discourse due to the election of the first non-white president. In my life time I have never witness a US POTUS so hated by 40% of US citizens.
