This is nonsensical - the US has over 200 coal fired power plants.

The email says there are only 15 coal-burners in the entire U.S. There are 15 in Indiana alone.

Thank you

Yea, a quick Google search gave me this.

“In 2019 there were 241 coal powered units across the United States which generated 23% of the United States electricity in 2019, an amount of electricity similar to that from renewable energy or nuclear power but about half of the amount generated by natural gas plants.”

The US Capitol building has a coal fired power plant within blocks. [NOT ON blocks...]

I live on the Ohio River. There are six within 60 miles of me. Ten years ago there were nine. F’n Barry went a long way to gut the rural economy around here. I believe we in KY have some of the lowest electric rates in the world.

Coal power in the United States
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_power_in_the_United_States
In 2019 there were 241 coal powered units across the United States

These countries have the most nuclear reactors

The United States has the most operational nuclear reactors on the planet – 96. Together they have a capacity of 97,565 MW, and last year nuclear energy made up about 20% of the country’s electricity generation.
