And natural gas.

Oddly, NG is not considered a core energy source - I don’t know why.

Interesting. We’re producing more electricity with natgas than with coal and nuclear combined.

Maybe because so much natgas generation is via combined cycle peaking plants, and coal and nuclear are more baseload generation. Core = baseload generation, perhaps?
