The United States is not replacing nuclear power with coal. Coal-derived electricity has declined dramatically in the past 15 years while nuclear power has declined slightly. See this chart of US electrical generation from 1950-2020: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-in-the-us.php https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-... Fossil generation peaked in 2007, as did generation from coal. Coal plus gas generation in 2007 was 2913 TWh, composed of 2016 TWh from coal, 897 TWh from gas. In 2020 gas generation was up to 1617 TWh and coal was down to 774 TWh for a total of 2391 TWh (-522 from 2007). Between 2007 and 2020, renewables grew from 353 TWh to 792 TWh (+439 from 2007).
