Published by Jessica Aizarani, Jan 31, 2023
Annual coal consumption in the United States saw an increase for the first time in several years in 2021, with consumption of the fossil fuel amounting to 545.67 million short tons. Before this, the U.S. had been steadily reducing its reliance on coal for electricity generation, with natural gas having surpassed coal as the largest source for power production in the country.
