They also don't show the actual numbers, so we don't know if coal production had any reduction, or if renewables just grew faster. The rest of the article makes it seem like the latter

    Yeah, with the anticipated electrical demand of the near future, I don't see coal generation decreasing substantially soon.

    Does make me wish we'd come harder on nuclear over the last 4-5 decades. I know nuclear isn't perfect, but its a good deal better than fossil fuels.
