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?

Yes but the Greens don’t want either so there is only one new nuclear plant built and they are forcing coal to shut down.
They do not want core power sources, so over the past decade the US has steadily lost core power sources. Power companies try to fill in with NG, but the plants are larger and far more expensive, require more maintenance (down time). So the Stats are skewed. Also the Greens want NG shut like coal as well.
