    The article doesn’t do a good job of explaining the 40%, you have to infer it. But when you do, it isn’t natural gas, but solar + wind + hydro + nuclear.

    This is actually fantastic news. 40% renewable, 40% natural gas, and 20% coal is a huge step in the right direction.

      I thought the chart was pretty clear. Although I guess they could’ve color coded it.

        I think color coding it would’ve helped a bit yeah. Especially if they used the same color for wind and hydro and solar and nuclear. Otherwise you read 40% in the headline and the first thing which draws your attention is 44% natural gas
