They're not counting natural gas, and I imagine they also don't include "clean coal". The remaining 26.4 is probably a mix of nuclear and hydro. Which lines up

They're not counting natural gas, and I imagine they also don't include "clean coal". The remaining 26.4 is probably a mix of nuclear and hydro. Which lines up with historical US generation percentages.
- jandrese 2y agoNobody includes "clean coal" because it is a myth the fossil fuel industry made up to try to keep their business alive and to give politicians cover. There are around three tiny "clean coal" plants in the world, all together producing only a tiny fraction of a percent of the energy on the grid.
