- Gibbon1 2y agoThere is a youtube video I ran into showing electricity generation by coal for various countries over the last 40 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwLwdQnlA9U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwLwdQnlA9U The US was ahead at 1.5 TWh. Rose to 2.1 before dropping down to 0.7. The US is now 3rd behind India and way behind China. Far as I can tell China's economic rise has been fueled by buring most of their total coal deposits. Which is why they are so big on solar and wind because they have no other choice.
