Americans are consuming less coal in 2018 than at any time since Jimmy Carters presidency, a federal report said Tuesday, as cheap natural gas and other rival sources of energy frustrate the Trump administrations pledges to revive the U.S. coal industry. A report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration projected Tuesday that 2018 would see the lowest U.S. coal consumption since 1979, as well as the second-greatest number on record of coal-fired power plants shutting down. The countrys electrical grid accounts for most of U.S. coal consumption. U.S. coal demand has been falling since 2007 in the face of competition from increasingly abundant and affordable natural gas and renewable energy, such as solar and wind power. Tougher pollution rules also have compelled some older, dirtier-burning coal plants to close rather than upgrade their equipment to trap more harmful coal emissions. God bless. Hopefully this puts people at ease after all the fear mongering about coal coming back. It's not going to come back. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Keep this news in mind the next time you see someone fearmonger about how America wants to bring back coal, isn't doing anything about climate change, or other nonsense.

Coal will never fully go away, it's just not an efficient source of energy to justify using it over other energy sources. --- Whoever beats my score I will give them a $10 PSN or Live card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpiorAx40GY ...

They can roll back those regulations and it won't change the end result. It's a last ditch attempt to placate coal lobbyists, but it is futile. Renewables are less expensive and more efficient, so it is game over for coal.
