re: #198 Honorary Yooper
Coal accounts for about 30% of electrical production in the US. Natural gas is about 20%, and nuclear is about 10%. The renewables the envirowackos like account for less than 5% when put together. Hydro is about 10%.
What’s the rest, then? This adds up to 75%
A show on trains said that 60% of the electricity in the US is made by coal.
Maybe not the best source, though.
