In 2010, coal-generated 45 percent of the nation's electricity with 317 gigawatts of coal-fired generating capacity—30 percent of the generating fleet. Last year, the United States generated only 24 percent of its electricity from coal and coal-fired generating capacity fell to 234 gigawatts (as of October 2019). Between 2010 and the first quarter of 2019, U.S. power companies announced the retirement of over 546 coal-fired power units, totaling about 102 gigawatts of generating capacity. Plant owners intend to retire another 17 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity by 2025, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Coal-fired plants have been retired due to regulation beginning with the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards promulgated by the Obama Administration, competition from low-cost natural gas and heavily subsidized and mandated renewable (mainly wind and solar) plants, and relatively flat electricity demand growth.The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.
