Natural gas = 33.8%
Coal = 30.4%
Nuclear = 19.7%
Renewables (total) = 14.9%

Hydropower = 6.5%
Wind = 5.6%
Biomass = 1.5%
Solar = 0.9%
Geothermal = 0.4%

Petroleum = 0.6%
Other gases = 0.3%
Other nonrenewable sources = 0.3%
Pumped storage hydroelectricity = -0.2%4

5.6% from wind; 30.4% from coal. Hmm, look it solar, 0.9% which was the subject of my discussion with the elderly lady. It would appear I am not one who is clueless.

As I said, by the state, and now you try to shift it nationally.

Its a much different story in certain states and the transition has been very recent and some are just getting started. And the shift is mostly in republican states.

And of course the woman that you denigrate was exactly right in that Trump certainly is trying impede the shift away from coal
