   sure, the actual data agrees that there is way less coal being mined in the US.

   but there is also still a lot of coal being mined -- 800,000 thousand 'short tons' in 2023

   maybe a better statement is in the middle - the energy transition that is happening is slow and may be too slow to mitigate climate change at the current transition rate, as demand also accelerates.
