EIA report on renewables...Coal use increasing???What about the billions dumped into renewables...remember that "clean and cheap" energy push. Well not really it won't fuel our current needs...straight from the "Green" IEA. When do the fossil fuel people say...told you so...you need us long-term. All time record coal??
"Fossil fuel-based electricity is set to cover 45% of additional demand in 2021 and 40% in 2022.Coal-fired electricity generation, after declining by 4.6% in 2020, will increase by almost 5% in 2021 to exceed pre-pandemic levels. It will grow by a further 3% in 2022 and could set an all-time high. After declining by 2% in 2020,gas-fired generationis expected to increase by 1% in 2021 and by close to 2% in 2022."
