The blue is coal. You can see where this is going. The game now is to keep the plants alive a few more years and let the old Trumpers squeeze a few more bucks out of corroding power plants and depleted mines.
Final EIA-860 is out, and 2025 really did it: 54 GW of new U.S. electric capacity, 96% clean. Solar again carries the offense, and we built more storage in 2025 than the cumulative total through 2023. More and more and more additions... but also record low retirements.
