The renewable energy sector is projected to generate more electricity than coal during the month of April, according to a recent report published by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. That's never happened before. Coal, long the king of the power sector, has already been dethroned by natural gas, a much cleaner burning fossil fuel. Now, coal is facing intensifying pressure from wind and solar power.
39-year low in coal consumptionThe clean energy transition is accelerating.Renewable energy is projected to be the fastest-growing source for power generation for at least the next two years, according to EIA numbers published earlier this year. Coal, on the other hand, continues to rapidly decline. Coal's share of total power generation tumbled from 45% in 2010 to 28% in 2018. And it's expected to dip to just 24% in 2020.
You mean Trump is gonna let this happen?

For My next feat of Magic I will 'Throw curse upon Papa Smurf and take 100,000 souls or more to Hobbit Hell.'
Wind energy = MORE expensive... Backed by coal... DEAD birds.
Bullshit
How many tons of coal are used to make a wind turbine ? ( asking for a friend )
You can hear the MAGAt's already, crying about the Noise Cancer.
If I am correct, we will then all be denied health coverage under any GOP health plan since we will all have a pre-existing condition from the noise.
Don't tell Trump. He will issue an executive order shutting down renewable energy.
Wait ...... we were told “clean, beautiful, coal” was going to be coming back I’m confused 🤷♂️
Love it when industry succeeds DESPITE Trump’s efforts to destroy it.
Thanks Trump!
Clean beautiful coal is losing? Shocking! What the expert realDonaldTrump has to say about it?
SOOOOOO WE DONT NEED THE GREEN NEW DEAL? WIN WIN WIN!!! TRUMP IS AMAZING!!
Great. Another case where the force of the people and of what is right overwhelm Trump's misguided, selfish antics - in this case: coal
