    Yes. And your own graph supports me.

    No, I’m afraid that, once again, the graph shows that you told a tall tale.

    Your own graph shows nuclear and natural gas easily outgrowing renewables.

    Funny - you first said fossil fuels, now you shift your argument to cover your error.

    My graph clearly shows the data. Now you shift to global data to cover for your error.

    And BTW, nuclear is flat at best. Nuclear is the most overpriced, immoral choice of power on Earth.

    There was no error. Is the US not included in global statistics?
    I'm pleased to see your irrational anti-nuclear prejudice exposed.

    Yeah, no big deal - except your previous post said “the US and the World”. US comment was wrong.

    Another WUWT misleading article. In the US, for every KWH that Natural Gas went up, coal went down, and then some. The combination of coal and natural gas has been going down steadily since 2008. Thanks Obama and Biden! Our grandchildren thank you too.

    The chart is from the EIA, it says so right on the chart can't you read?

    That’s comical! Better sources than EIA. Your article probably has the same source, but is more than likely cherry-picking information over some obscure timeline. That’s what your sources do. That’s why they’re rated quackery and low fact.

    The "obscure timeline" is simply the year 2023. It seems that your claim is the one that's comical.

    Can't you discern propaganda from real data? I posted the graph from the EIA website. This chart is made up by the Low-Fact-Rated WUWT, who claim that "the data is from EIA".. It is not accurate. They are lying to you with PROPAGANDA!

    Another BUST of WUWT lies. No wonder they get a LOW-FACT rating.

    Your fact free rant amuses me.

    I knew all along that your source was from EIA but they don't cover the same area which is why you are missing some of the details due to your prejudice against a website.

    You are getting desperate now as the evidence piles up that you try hard to ignore, the data Jack posted is from the government which you can't deny which is why you attack WUWT instead.

    WUWT misrepresented the data. They are not to be trusted. My graph is directly from the EIA website. The WUWT pie-chart was not.

    Notice how he is pushing a blatant falsehood since the data for the chart was drawn from the EIA, notice how he doesn't try to show that it isn't.......... he just goes the lazy route attacking WUWT instead.
