BFN once again buries the lede to push a false narrative.
The average bill decrease was despite increased consumption across the board from 2017 to 2018, as is plain in the page they link to (https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/update/ https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/update/):
Total net electricity generation (thousand MWh) UP 3.7%
Residential retail price (cents/kwh) UP 0.1%
Retail sales (thousand MWh) UP .8%
Heating degree-days UP 22.5%
Natural gas price ($/mmBtu) UP 39.7%
Coal consumption UP 1.4%
Natural gas consumption (Mcf) UP 12.9%
Nuclear net generation (thousand MWh) DOWN -4.0%
This is how BFN defines a "greener" America?
