I just told you a fact and you ignored it. Even in the electrical industry there are coal plants shuttering every year, and there are NO new coal plants planned in the US, for any purpose.
And yes Natural Gas is increasing, but we were talking about coal. Coal has been going down for over a decade now in all sectors, and will continue to go down.
US electricity generation for coal has been going down every year. In 2020 combined renewable energy generation (hydro+solar+wind+biomass+geothermal) surpassed coal energy generation.
So you're talking nonsense.
