    That’s great news for the future, and it aligns with what I said about coal being in decline. What is not true is your assertion that the bulk of coal plants in the US have already been decommissioned. Your own chart confirms that a large percentage of coal plants are still in operation.

      Most of them are already shut down, and a whole batch more have committments to close within a few years. We’re at something like 70% either closed or committed to shutdown at this point.
