    Good point. I did not check that but I think it is somewhere in the source.

    Edit: 44TWh today vs ~34 TWh 10 wars ago. So a slight increase in total coal energy usage. 24.2 TWh today vs 23.8 TWh 10 years ago.

      Thanks for following that up!
      At least the total coal energy use did stay almost the same due to the reduced share of it.
      It’s not the win one could’ve hoped for, but it’s not horrible either.
