    This relates to 3 things:
    1) Natural gas is cheaper/more flexible than coal in the US for electricity production.
    2) Coal has become more expensive in the US has the cheap/good stuff has been largely mined out.
    3) The heavy industries that require coal are mostly not based in the US anymore (e.g. steel).

    You can't make solar cells, or wind turbines, without fossil fuels. Which seems like a big problem that everybody's ignoring.

    And electricity is a fairly small part of the energy mix, and energy is not fungible. You can't just replace oil/gas with electricity.
