Coal made up a historic low of 14.9% of US electricity generation in 2024 and was still responsible for more than a third (36.8%) of emissions in the power sector… It has the highest emissions intensity of any source in the US power system.

In June 2025, Germany produced a record 11.8 TWh from solar ☀️ If this had been produced by coal (as it was in the past), Germany would have had to burn an additional 6 million tonnes of coal! 🔥 That's ~3000 full trainloads... or enough to fill 50 Bundestag buildings with coal
